You can't say that yet. Justin took years to develop and didn't fully reach his full potential until he came here under the 3-4 and under Tomsula. For all we know AA is in that same timetable.

Aldon. More HOF talent on the field. Very few teams have replaced a talent like that. Maybe it's Harold or Carradine or a draft pick. Fingers crossed on this one!

Yes, have to give this one to the safeties. This team is not lacking horribly in talent. They just need to draft well at a few key spots, and coach up the unprovens we already have.

Much better stated.

Lynch alone makes our LB group tops in the league

He had what, 20-30 sacks last year? Beast

I agree with the point about having a lot of young players who can still develop. But they haven't yet. Hopefully this will be a big year for some of them.

I am talking about players like Brandon Thomas, Marcus Martin, Eli Harold, etc.

It's easy to be pessimistic but if the Niners have a good draft (with a few starters), some of these current younger players develop and they get some better coaching, they might be okay.

Hopefully Chip's scheme works too.

Safety maybe the strongest position group for this team, but I wouldn't call it an elite group.

Ok let me rephrase, if you find probowls meaningless.

Two players who have performed very well in the past, one who was playing great at the end of last season, and two young players who show a ton of promise especially when playing together at the end of the season. Although one was playing slot.

Wtf does simply on the roster even mean? They will all get significant playing time except maybe better. Talent at a position is talent at a position. Though they might not be elite yet it's a promising position.
