Where's Kenneth Murray? Or the linebacker from Chicago? Or the DE From Saints?
 
To me Javonte Williams or Miles Sanders are probably as good as Rico.
Jourdan Lewis will be missed. We may or may not have replaced him. If Bland is our new nickel corner thanks to signing Elam or drafting our rookie? I'd say we replaced Lewis.

Lawrence was hurt last year so i'll say Fowler should replace him fine.

Not only did we replace what we lost but we upgraded the linebacker spot and defensive line.

The rest are the better player left than the player acquired.

You’re nuts if you think Tre Lance is better than any QB in the NFL. Actually, he’s not even better than most D1 college QBs. Theres no way that Fowler is better than Tank either.
 
After the draft I would rate the offseason a B-. Only because we still haven't signed a WR2 yet.

Bro, this list is about 1/2 complete. Where’s Javante Williams, Kenneth Murray, Solomon Thomas, Dakota Shepley, Jack Sanborn,
Was that on purpose? What did I read wrong?
 
Why aren’t drafted players included?

Players leave through free agency or retirement.

They are replaced through free agency and the draft.

I’m confused

Lance? LOL, no kidding. But
you're nuts if you think Grier or Milton is better than Cooper Rush. So yeah, I'll stand by that.

Lawrence was hurt all year and did nothing.Fowler had 10 plus sacks...
Easy choice.

Harbaugh does.

Paying him to be QB2.

Grier is our QB2. At 1M. The budget special.

We lost Rush and Lance.

Got Grier and Milton, who spent 6 seasons in NCAA and still can’t throw.

Yep, I know.
The player lost in Rush is better than the player gained in Grier or Milton.

Could care less about Lance.
 
If we are thinking about comp picks for 2026, I would not expect much.
