49ERS NUMBER 23 PRO
Hazeltine was a five-time team captain and was selected to two Pro Bowls.

He totaled 16 fumble recoveries and 12 interceptions during his seasons with the 49ers and had three defensive touchdowns. Hazeltine played most of his 15 seasons in San Francisco and started 113 of the 176 games he played with the 49ers. This is a close call between Hazeltine and Ahmad Brooks, and maybe you could go either way. His career lasted two more seasons past 1999 as he had stints with the Panthers and Broncos, but he didn't have the success there he had in San Francisco. He was a Pro Bowl player in 19 and was part of the team that topped the Chargers 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX. Woodall started 88 of 94 games with the 49ers and totaled 356 tackles, 10 sacks, six interceptions, and four fumble recoveries. He heads into 2017 looking to bounce back from season-ending Achilles surgery. Bowman, who has 671 tackles and 12.5 career sacks, has been selected to three Pro Bowls and is a four-time first-team All-Pro. Bowman's book with the 49ers is still being written, but other than the major injuries he's suffered, it's been pretty darn good so far. Special mention goes to Hart, who over 10 seasons with the 49ers started 112 games, was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1976, and was a two-time winner of the team's prestigious Len Eshmont Award.

The issue was they scored 23, 13, and ultimately just 17 when it mattered most. They had the third-best defense in terms of yardage allowed last year, and in their three postseason games, held opponents to 17, 10, and 20 points. In order to make a playoff run, they simply need to score more points. Secondly, and more specifically to the 49ers, is that they are winning with defense.

Why use draft picks when you can offer them for a known talent? As is so often said, the NFL is a 'copycat league' and that is the most recent model of success. LA mortgaged future draft picks to get their Vince Lombardi trophy, and it paid off. So why would they choose to give up a decent portion of their future draft capital, especially for a player at a position that appears to have been productive with Kyle Shanahan as head coach regardless of which player lines up there?įirst, the influence of the Los Angeles Rams can't be overstated - not just on the Niners, but on the rest of the league. The San Francisco 49ers gave up four draft picks to get McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers
