While we have yet to finish the playoffs, 49ers fans are certainly looking towards the future.  I'll be posting these dates on the left side of the page, but for now I thought I'd throw them up here.  I found these initial dates through a website called Great Blue North Draft Report, so if you see something incorrect feel free to mention it in the comments.  However, I think these dates are just about good to go.

January 15: Deadline for underclassmen to apply for early entry to NFL draft

January 18: Deadline for underclassmen to withdraw application for early entry to NFL draft

January 22-26: Senior Bowl Week in Mobile Alabama

February 3: 2007 Super Bowl, Phoenix

February 10:  Pro Bowl, Hawaii

February 15: NFL signing period for CFL players under contract ends

February 22: Deadline for NFL teams to designate franchise and transition players

February 20-26: NFL Scouting Combine, Indianapolis

March 1: NFL teams must be under salary cap

March 3: NFL trading and veteran free agent signing periods begin

March 14-16: CFL evaluation camp, Toronto

March 30-April 3: NFL Winter meeting

April 15: NFL restricted free agent signing period ends

April 26-27: NFL Draft, New York

May 1: CFL draft

May 19-21: NFL Spring meeting

June 1: Deadline for old clubs to send tender to unsigned unrestricted free agents to receive exclusive negotiating rights for rest of season if player is not signed by another club by July 22; Deadline for old clubs to send tender to unsigned restricted free agents or to extend qualifying offer to retain exclusive negotiating rights.

June 15: Deadline for old clubs to withdraw original qualifying offer to unsigned restricted free agents and still retain exclusive negotiating rights by substituting tender of 110 percent of previous year's salary.

With January 18 being the deadline for underclassmen to withdraw their name from the draft pool, I'll hold off until then for further draft analysis.
