Recently, I was contacted by Arne Christensen about an idea for a series of front page posts on NinersNation. You might know Arne as the NinersNation member arnec, who posted the FanPost last week about the anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. After seeing what he had in mind, Fooch and I...

49ers Year-by-Year: 1989
This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers 1989 season. 1989 ushered in a new age for both the NFL and the 49ers, but how would it affect the product on the field? How could George Seifert possibly fill the shoes of Bill Walsh? 1989 would end up being one of the most memorable...
Santa Clara city council, 49ers reach deal on new stadium
Late tonight Santa Clara city officials signed off on the general framework of a deal to build a new stadium for the 49ers in Santa Clara. While this is a big step, the bigger step is passing the required ballot measure at some point in 2010 (rumored to be in March). The final proposal was not...
The Art (and Science) of Drafting: IV. 49er vs. Patriot Regimes in the Salary Cap Era
In Part 3 of this series, I compared the 49ers' overall draft strategy in the Salary Cap Era to that of the Patriots. Obviously, the problem with my analysis in Part 3 is the same one we encountered in Part 1. Namely, evaluating 15 years worth of picks, whether for SF or NE, and comparing two teams...
The Art (and Science) of Drafting: IId. The McNolan Era (2005-2008)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry about the delay in getting this one posted. My computer crashed yesterday because a genius (aka me) let the battery run out, so I had to wait until it fully recharged (aka today) to continue writing up the piece. Yesterday, in Part 2c of my review of 49er draft history, I...

Yesterday, in Part 2b of my review of 49er draft history, I broke down the Walsh II regime's picks from 1999-2001 by round, position, and conference. Just to refresh everyone's memory, here was my description of Walsh II's draft strategy: Stockpile picks when your team sucks. Draft for need on...
The Art (and Science) of Drafting: IIb. The Walsh II Era (1999-2001)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Happy belated Easter everyone. Sorry for the delay on getting this one posted, but there's just a ridiculous amount of info to sift through. Hopefully the article's worth the wait. Also, just wanted to let you know that I'll be posting my review of the Donahue Era drafts later...
The Art (and Science) of Drafting: IIa. The Policy Regime (1994-1998)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Apologize in advance, but the team and player page tags aren't working for me right now for some reason. I'll attempt to link them shortly. On Wednesday, in Part 1 of my review of 49er draft history, I broke down their picks since 1994 by round, position, and conference. Just to...
The Art (and Science) of Drafting: I. Niner Picks 1994-2008
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello again everyone. What with a lull in the NFL calendar, and my recent move to Fort Lauderdale, I've been AWOL on Niners Nation for much of the past month. Also, I've been steadily plugging away at several articles that will be appearing in the lead-up to the draft. I hope you...
