The Draft have become majorly improtant

[Hangman]

Man after today and more to come this week the 49ers have some shoes to fill. Might have to trade down from 15 and get more picks to get a good core of backups again. We once had deep depth all over the defense letting people go who could be starters on other teams and now we have to try and do that again. Hopefully those injured players the 49ers have been stashing on IR can come out and play and play well. Teams have been calling the 49ers cheaters for stashing players on IR and NFI List and now it looks like it was worth it.

The draft is always always important.

Exactly, the way I look at it a team should get starters out of the first two rounds and probably guys that could start in the 3rd after that it's most likely back up depth and maybe finding one of those hidden gem type players.

No question.

every bad team will show a pattern of poor drafting. you don't hit on every pick, but you have to be more right than wrong.

Yep, drafting is the key to longevity in this league. Can't rely on free agency to fill all the holes. How the past couple of drafts pan out will be make or break where this team goes, coaching issues aside.
