49ers Retirement List: Marcus Lattimore, Patrick Willis, Chris Borland, Justin Smith, Anthony Davis
Is it too early to pencil them in for the number one pick in the 2016 Draft?
I wonder if a part of it was Jim's grind-it style - if the physical and mental strain of his coaching made it easier for these guys to consider walking away. It seems strange all these guys from the same team walking away at basically the same time - although I believe Anthony Davis said he eventually planned to come back.
I think #1 overall is a bit much, they still have enough pieces to win a couple, I think they are definitely top 10 though, maybe top depending on their schedule.
