ESPN is doing what they call the ‘Ultimate NFL Depth Chart’ where they rank all NFL teams. The overall rankings will be aired on Friday’s Sportscenter. We’ll save you some time and list some of the rankings they gave the 49ers.
Quarterbacks: 31 out of 32. Only ahead of the Browns. Of course if the trade of Dorsey for Dilfer didn’t go through, I’m sure they’d have the Niners at 32.
Runningbacks: 32 out of 32. The Niners were ranked 17th in rushing offense in the league last season, this with the likes of Anthony Clement on the line. No way the Niners are worse than the Jets, Lions, Raiders, Browns just to name a few.
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends: 32 out of 32.
Defense: Rushing D – 20 out of 32. Passing D – 22 out of 32.
