[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1028713, member: 7261"] Why now? I think it is pretty obvious that this very young team grew-up/developed faster than most expected. However they were still just a 9-8 team, with some obvious holes at certain positions (Safety, CB, ILB). Add losing a few guys this season and that they also need a backup RB, OL and maybe even kicker. So this is a team that Gute will be looking to improve upon with both Free Agents and the draft. I still feel that you improve your future teams with the draft, you plug your immediate holes through Free Agency. Back to those three 13 win teams and how they differ from this 9-8 team. At a quick glance and as you imply, the 9-8 team made it just as far as the 2021 team that got knocked out after their first round bye by the same 49'ers. My guess is that Gute viewed those 3 teams (13 wins) as pretty complete and not missing a lot of parts, not to mention not a lot of present or short term cap space. So instead of adding high end free agents, he added bargain free agents and draft picks to try and get those teams over the hump and into Super Bowls. I am sure we could dissect each and every season and say "they lost this guy in Free Agency and the replaced him with this, this guy didn't develop, so they replaced him with this, etc." Also, whether Gute was correct in doing what he did, is totally up for debate. Like I said, IMO he should have gone after 2-3 players that immediately improved the receiving room (TE's and WR's) and that should have done b4 and after Adams left. [/QUOTE]
