You contradict your own takes on an hourly basis. This Isn't year two of a rebuild if you're counting on players who are still in college to comprise a championship roster in their rookie year.

The 49ers' butt ton of draft picks they've taken on the past two years haven't exactly done jack for them either. When you've got a balanced and deep roster, it's pretty hard to find places for ALL of those draft picks that were brought on. Eric Reid was a starter last year and has gone through somewhat of a sophomore slump this year. Jimmie Ward has a season-ending injury, and Carlos Hyde is still eating Frank Gore's table scraps. The only other dudes who have played and contributed anything halfway decent for them are Cory Lemonier and Aaron Lynch, and that's only because Aldon Smith is a ****ing idiot who got suspended. Has Chris Borland even seen the field since the Willis injury, or does he just suck?
Everyone else is special teaming, practicing, and waiting in the wings for their number to be called when the 49ers need it.
That's because the 49ers are a good team. It's hard to break through the lineups like that on good teams.
