Golden Nuggets: Hopeful about the 'redshirts'

Good morning everyone. Over the last few years, the 49ers have invested in many players coming off serious injuries that have essentially 'redshirted' for a year before getting thrown into the mix. While we are very hopeful some of these players will show the value the team was hoping for when drafting them, the return on these investments has yet to come to fruition. In fact, the most famous case ended with the 49ers getting absolutely nothing in return from drafting Marcus Lattimore. Because of this, this strategy has come under fire from both the fans, and media.
