Do these people even watch the @49ers ?
Have the niners missed on a lot of picks?
Sure
But they have hit on some game changing players too.

Here's the core problem no one is addressing ...
The 49ers have missed on some high profile picks.
And they've had to deal with too many injuries.
And people like to rag on the Niners.
- Mykel Williams - 1st rounder - hurt rookie season
- Ricky Pearsall - 1st rounder - hurt a lot
- Trey Lance - 3rd overall (massive draft capital) - bust
- Jake Moody - 3rd round (for a kicker)
- Javon Kinlaw - 1st rounder - bust
- Brandon Aiyuk - 1st rounder - hurt, then went AWOL
The first two I have faith will still work out but those other 4 definitely hurt and get major media attention to support people's narratives.
Also, this doesn't include guys drafted who were traded or released: Deebo, Banks, Hufanga (5th round), Mitchell (6th round), McGlinchey, Winters (6th round) to name a few.
Brian Baldinger was asked if people should be concerned with how the 49ers have drafted in the last 5 years:
“I’d be concerned. You have to be concerned after you look at what Seattle is doing in the draft. You look at what the Rams are doing in the draft. The Rams don’t have a first round pick on their offensive line and haven’t the entire time since Sean McVay has been there. They never used a first round pick on one. They trade most of them away… They have struck gold repeatedly. You look at Kyren Williams in the 5th round. Kobie Turner in the 3rd round and Puka [Nacua]. To say that the 49ers are drafting on the same pace that the Rams and Seahawks are, would be crazy. You can’t stretch it like that.”

@ChampRDS@CBSMornings Age is a factor in every analysis of every fight. It's on the tale of the tape.
No one gives a shit about your roast beef downstairs
Ronda Rousey fires back at critics bringing up her age ahead of her MMA return:
“I never hear Jon Jones’ age being brought up as a disqualifying factor.
It’s not like my ovaries are fighting. Why are we even talking about this?”

@stoolpresidente I haven't tweeted in literal years. Your method to reviewing #Chicago#pizza is all wrong! You eat #NewYork#pizza starting at the middle and then eat crust. To truly reveiw our #pie FAIRLY and CONSISTENTLY, eat a slice from the middle and THEN eat an edge slice!
