If you could pick 10 current 49ers to keep long term, who are those 10?

I am going with 15 players.

1. Aldon Smith
2. Navarro Bowman
3. Patrick Willis
4. Eric Reid
5. Tank Carradine
6. Ian Williams
7. Tramaine Brock
8. Chris Culliver

9. Colin Kaepernick
10. Marcus Lattimore
11. Michael Crabtree
12. Anthony Davis
13. Alex Boone
14. Bruce Miller
15. Mike Iupati

I love your list. Mixture of Vets who are still young, and up and comers.

I thought we can't pick Tank. I pick Tank to replace QP on my list.

Kap
Crabs
Staley
Boone
Vance (still got high hopes for this kid)
Reid
Aldon
Bow
Cully (provided a full recovery)
Tank

Kap
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce
Crabs
Unibrow Davis
Boone
Lupati
Aldon Smiff
Eric Reid
Dahl
McDermott

not in any particular order or preference

crabtree
vernon
kaepernick
willis
bowman
brooks
aldon smith
Reid
Staley
Anthony Davis / Brock / Culliver (good corners and Tackles are hard to come by these days)

keep Mcdermott and cut the rest. That's how you build a championship contending team.

Pretty much this for me, though I would swap A.Davis for Boone.

Holy frick.

Ian Williams over Kaepernick?? Really???

I know some of you are bitter about the loss, but get the F out of here with the lists dropping Kap that low.

Hes a young, franchise QB. You have ZERO shot to win a SB without a franchise QB. He should be priority 1.

WhoTF cares about Krapands**t, he is 0 - 1 in the Super Bowl. Just draft a rookie and start over.

Just for those curious.

Ian Williams signed thru 2015
Glenn Dorsey signed thru 2014
Daniel Kilgore signed thru 2014(If he is our future at Center)

Added Lattimore because he may be the only significant offensive play maker other than Kaepernick on this team.

Kaepernick
V Davis
Lattimore (untested I know--but he is either the real thing or they need a new real thing)
Boone
Reid
Culliver
A Smith

Iupati -- Too inconsistent to pay top dollar. Too injury prone.
Bowman -- I've never seen any pro football player recover from an injury like that. Never. Not once. The knee is everything in sports. Just look at Manningham, and his injury wasn't even 10% as bad as Bowman's.
V Davis -- He relies on his speed, which might not last as he gets into his mid 30's.
Boldin -- He might still be good beyond 2016, but that is pushing it.

Stop scaring me about Bowman bro. f**k. I don't want to even imagine his career over. He has HOF potential too.

1. Aldon
2. Bowman
3. Willis
4. Crabtree
5. Boon
6. A. Davis
7. V. Davie
8. T. Brook
9. Whitner
10. Lee (Andy flips the field)

Nothing could make me sicker.

It's too sickening to put into words. A heroic individual like Bowman, to see that happen to him.

Thank you. Throw in them old folks, and I think next year is looking pretty good.
