What talent have the 49ers really added in the past couple years?

SD is correct on tthis one. Right now this team is looking like the Eagles.

From what I understand they have the vast majority of their key players locked up in contracts for the next 3-4 years. While some will probably demand a renegotiation, there's also the fact that Carroll apparently has a system that players love. That might be worth a hometown discount for some of these guys. I think they are a far way away from salary cap hell. We can't sit there and wait for them to implode. We need to get the killer instinct they do and stop playing it conservative or else we'll find ourselves being perennially second place.

So that's 19 players, that are either starters or major contributors / future contributors to our team, found in the last three years.

Iupati and A Davis were both drafted by Baalke. Wouldn't they bring the list up to 21?

3 straight years in the NFCC, lost to the eventual champs 3 straight years. Most teams in the NFL would kill for our talent, imagine if this team was in the NFC East... o_O

How many of the players below that are still on the team will make significant impact next year?

2011 draft

1 A.J. Jenkins WR Illinois

2 LaMichael James RB Oregon

4 Joe Looney C/G Wake Forest

5 Darius Fleming OLB Notre Dame

6 Trent Robinson SS Michigan State

6 Jason Slowey T Western Oregon

7 Cam Johnson DE Virginia


2012 draft

1. Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri

2. Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada

3. Chris Culliver, CB, South Carolina

4. Kendall Hunter, RB, Oklahoma State

5. Daniel Kilgore, OL, Appalachian State

6. Ronald Johnson, WR, USC

7. Colin Jones, S, TCU

8. Bruce Miller, DL/FB, Central Florida

9. Michael Person, OL, Montana State

10. Curtis Holcomb, CB, Florida A&M


2013 draft

(18). Eric Reid, Safety, LSU

2(40). Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, Defensive End, Florida State

2(55). Vance McDonald, Tight End, Rice

3(88). Corey Lemonier, Outside Linebacker, Auburn

4(128). Quinton Patton, Wide Receiver, Louisiana Tech

4(131). Marcus Lattimore, Running Back, South Carolina

5(157). Quinton Dial, Defensive Lineman, Alabama

6(180). Nick Moody, Linebacker, Florida State

7(237). B.J. Daniels, Quarterback, South Florida

7(246). Carter Bykowski, Offensive Tackle, Iowa State

7(252). Marcus Cooper, Defensive Back, Rutgers

2011 was horribad. 2012 was imo one of the greatest drafts for a team ever. 2013 will be viewed as a home run in 2-3 years. Once you consider all the extra picks Baalke has been able to pick up, no complaints over here.

We can't say the same with Harbaugh and some of his player personnel handlings have been questionable.

The whole basis for this thread is BS.

I know it is just semantics but the fact you both have 2 entire years backwards is just LOL.

You have to define "significant", but I think the guys I highlighted will have a hand in the outcome of the upcoming season.

...and as mentioned before, you have 2011 and 2012 backwards. Why leave out 2010? Davis, Iupati, and Bowman.

but now, as you well know,, the bar is set higher and while many of us where just happy to be in the playoffs this year due to things that went south earlier in the year,,, it is really now time to get over that hump. you can only be a bridesmaid so many times.

Usually a drafted player should be evaluated after two years as a starter at the earliest...now, you come along and want to judge the last year's draft and the one before???
as a side note: we found a starting FS last year who replaced Goldson without any quality loss.

Are you even going to try defend the 2012 draft? Please, go on. Do it. I dare you.

how can anyone defend it? we got really lucky. when a team blows a draft as bad as we blew that one,, it usually sets back a franchise a year or two. That can not and must not ever happen agai

So who really should get credit for the Niners defense? McCloughan, Nolan, Singletary or Baalke, Harbaugh and Fangio???

The fact that Singletary's name is in your question is 100% confirmation that you did not become a Niners fan until at least 2011. 100%.
