Have the San Francisco 49ers been good at drafting in recent years? You can make arguments for or against that fact, with the 2010 and 2011 drafts sitting in their favor and the 2012 draft very much sitting in the other column. One fact that is inarguable, however, is that the 49ers will have one member of each draft class going back to 2004 in the NFL this season, something only 10 NFL teams can claim.
Obviously, it’s more impressive to have members of the 2004 and 2005 classes still playing football than it is for the 2012 class to still be active, and the 49ers only qualify by a thread some years, but still.
