I give the draft a B+ overall. Brought in some blue chip talent, brought in some competition at basically every position, increased the team speed

It was definitely much better on the surface than the "Baalke Specials" we've been handed the last 4-5 years. Only real reach was Beathard. and it appears that that was signed of on by Shanahan personally. Not a big deal in the grand scheme as I expect them to make a run for Cousins next year, and he was brought in as a guy to develop.

Agreed. & there are worse things than bringing in a quarterback the head coach personally picked who can learn the system from day 1 with pick 104.

On this day (October 5) in history in 1987...

30 years ago in 49ers’ history: The night Bill Walsh ran the wishbone

Bill Walsh spent 10 seasons with the 49ers running the West Coast offense, but for one half, of one game, he made a seismic shift: He shelved his revolutionary attack for the wishbone.

No, seriously.

Thirty years ago, on Oct. 5, 1987, the 49ers played perhaps the most surreal game in the franchise’s 72-season history. And Walsh’s decision to run a decidedly non-NFL offense was among the many oddities.

In the first “Monday Night Football” game played during the 1987 players’ strike, the 49ers’ replacement players — dubbed the “Phony Niners” — beat the Giants 41-21 before more than 60,000 empty seats at 77,172-seat Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands.

It was the first nonsellout of the 11-year-old stadium after more than 40,000 tickets were refunded. One sign in the stands: “Stay On Strike. We Get Better Seats.”

Two days after the game, 12 members of the 49ers, including Joe Montana, Roger Craig and Dwight Clark, crossed the picket line and joined the team for the final two games of the 24-day strike.

So, NaVorro Bowman out earlier this week. That came as a shock.

And the CJ Beathard era has begun. He actually looked decent and almost led an impressive come back. Might as well see what we have there before going after Cousins after this season.
