The good news for SF is that their core nucleus of Purdy, Kittle, CMAC, Bosa, Deebo, and Aiyuk is signed through next season at least and they somehow have one of the highest cap spaces in the league. We've seen Denver, Minnesota, Philly, and KC field elite defenses largely by adding cheap white talent, and after yesterday its clear this team needs some run stoppers. Hoping to see Pearsall emerge and help this team make another run at it next year.

49ers were elite when they had an elite OL. Most teams are.

Also their front 7 in Defense isn’t nearly as formidable as in the past. Imagine if they had gone after AVG instead of Minnesota!

Bingo! The 49ers are reminiscent of the way The Genius would take a receiver in the first two or three rounds seemingly every year, only to have chosen a bust. White talent shouldn't be cheap (that's a separate topic we've discussed a lot) but it is and those organizations that take advantage of it always thrive (as did The Genius before the Patriots changed to being a standard Caste team).
