You forgot DeAndrew White, lol

[CalamityX12]

surprised Devey and Pears did not crack bottom 5.... there's worse out there?

[NinerSickness]

Very tempted to pull up the threads on poopla of people trashing me when I was SCREAMING for the Niners to sign Richie Incognito.

They could've had Incognito & La'el Collins for nothing.

NOTHING!!!

It's mind boggling why we didn't use one of our 7th on La'el Collins. Smh.

More mind boggling than using our 5th on a punter?

Aaron Lynch made the ESPN PFF All-Underated Team

Pass-rusher -- Aaron Lynch, San Francisco 49ers

All the talk around San Francisco was about the players the 49ers lost and what they no longer had. With Aldon Smith sent packing, they looked bereft of any pass-rush presence. They're certainly not overburdened with pass-rushers, but in Lynch they have one guy who is getting consistent pressure.

Lynch has just three sacks this season but has also tallied six knockdowns and 19 additional hurries for a total of 28 pressures, just four short of the league lead across all positions. That figure is also 14 more than any other 49ers defender and seven more than Smith has managed in Oakland.

Hmm, how old is Delaney Walker?

Looks like they let the wrong TE go.
