For the most part, that's been the off-season focus for the San Francisco 49ers. General Manager John Lynch set a goal to get younger and cheaper, and he has certainly done that.
The pillars are still in place, but if you were looking for a roster overhaul, then look no further than San Francisco. With preseason underway, let's take a look at early predictions for the 53-man roster.
In hindsight, an overhaul was the right move for the 49ers. Moving forward, the pillars are still in place, and the rest of the roster is full of energy and potential. The 49ers are now a balanced team and the timeframe to do so was justified in large part due to a solid draft class.
What they do with that potential remains to be seen.
