How many great players on the 49er's weren't either acquired in FA/trade or selected early in the draft? Bowman was a 3rd round pick. I'd have to go over their entire roster but for the most part they were pretty bad for a while and had a bunch of high picks. Hitting on guys like Patrick Willis. The Seahawks have hit on some later guys but the fact that both of these teams had 4 or more down seasons in a row has certainly helped their case.
