I will say this, I definitely feel way better about where we are as a team at this point in the off-season then I did at the same time last off-season. It is not even close. Are we better right now as a team then we were during the Superbowl? Maybe, maybe not, its hard to say. But we got a lot of picks in this draft to try and add some quality players to this roster.

In addition to what you mention, Niners also have a healthy Purdy going into the offseason program and who now has his first full season + playoffs & SB under his belt. Looking forward to seeing him continue to develop & improve this season.

If we can get a tackle in round 1 that can be a good starter on the right side of the line then we are definitely a better team. Obviously some question marks with Huff and Greenlaw, but FA isn't over and we haven't hit the draft yet. Fix the o-line so we can hold up up front in the big game. That's all this team is really truly missing

No, not even close.

It's a C- for Lynch's FA.

IDK but I trust Lynch's decisions. Time and time again Niners sign players that outperform their contracts. Well the one that didn't was Javon Hargrave but maybe he plays better with Armstead gone.

Would have liked to keep Ferrel for what he got paid and losing Ray Ray scares me a bit.

They aren't… they aren't even the best team in the nfc anymore. The backend is going to be a liability once again at safety and Warner is gonna be on an island on defense. Bosa double teamed. This is gonna be one hell of a season!

Why does losing Ray ray scare you? All the dude did was fair catch or fumble. Very few good returns. CF isn't hard to replace. To me they are better b/c Floyd is a better pass rusher than Chase, Gregory, and DJ combined. The DT depth overall has improved, just not sure on the starting DT replacing AA.

That's a lot of positions to look into to only come away with DL.

No OL on that list, of course.

People are discounting the Niners because they're bored. That's it! https://t.co/4sVQiF05dr

So far not even close. The heart and soul of the D (Dre) is out all year, We still have zero OL, no return man, AA will be a huge loss and we have signed a bunch of rotational DL.

not on paper, absolutely not

but I guess some of the younger guys/ rookies could step up
and maybe Sorenson is that much better than Wilkes
and maybe McKivitz, Burford and Brendel improve

but the only thing we've done is re-do the DL, and the DL is worse than it was last year... so yeah, we're not better (on paper)

DL isn't worse than last year. It is probably better
