Seven years ago, Raiders owner Mark Davis was asked if it occurred to him that none of his team’s defensive players would start for the 49ers. Davis responded by saying, “Why stop there? Same goes for offense and special teams.” Davis had a valid point. The 49ers were so loaded at the time, and the

    Pretty pathetic. I think that describes our D pretty well over the past several years.

    So many of us have stated the obvious over and over again.

    We have needed a never comes off the field MLB for what seems like centuries now.

    That list goes on to include capable, not to mention shutdown CBs and Mullen is off to a very good start. An OLB and or S who can match up with the bigtime TEs in the league. A run stuffing DT. And a pass rush.

    In short, the entirety.

    Joyner was paid BIG money and has been a complete bust thus far. Gruden seems to love him and he likely will be put in the slot again this season, at least until he gets beat repeatedly, again.

    I think Hankins is a good player but needs a partner there. Hall and Hurst have shown little. Remember when it was reported that Hurst could go between 15 & 32 in that draft?

    It is very cost prohibitive to build a D through FA. Hopefully we work the magic again in the draft this year.

    Ferrell pick was a complete and utter reach.

    He’s not elite and you pick elite players at #4 pick.
