I consider the 49ers to be the second worst team in the NFL right now... the worst being the Texans (sorry, I not a hater, but I call it like I see it). However, all hope isn't lost for San Francisco. Why? 2 words: Draft Picks.
Vernon Davis will have an immediate impact on offense and should be able to complement QB Alex Smith very well. The two NC State recruits: Manny Lawson and Marcus Hudson will also improve the 49ers roster. Lawson will improve the pass rush thanks to his size, strength and speed and Hudson will probably qualify as a cornerback or safety. Brandon Williams, Michael Robinson and Parys Haralson should also positively contribute to the 49ers overall play.
However, there are just too many teams with better rosters, superior coaching and more powerful momentum on their side. I think the 49ers will improve in time to be a formidable team, but it won't be this season... or next... or next.
