I think the only ones that are undisputed right now are:
McCaffrey
Warner
Trent Williams

Haley was pretty damn good as a pass rusher but he may not have been the better overall player that Bosa is
Russ Francis was a bad ass TE in his day, the best in the game, don't think Kittle is better
I think Warner is better Willis, but not by much
Trent is just a little better than Staley who was a perrenial all pro

Moody as best kicker. At this pace, he'll never miss.

Hmmm... I think locking in Fred Warner as the greatest 49er linebacker of all time would have to be with the caveat of Middle linebacker. It is easier than ignoring an equally great Patrick Willis as the greatest 49er inside linebacker of all time.

Love Warner but he's not better than Patrick IMO. Aside from that, I'm not sure I can argue. Had Haley played his entire career here and helped get more rings I'd probably have an argument putting Bosa ahead of him, but Bosa still early in his career. Kittle, CMC, TW absolutely no doubt.

I agree. That's why I say:

Warner - Greatest MLB of all Time
Willis - Greatest ILB of all Time

When Fred is done with his 15-year HOF career, he will not only cement himself as the greatest 49ers' LB ever, but one of the greatest LBs period in NFL history.
