11 days to the first game so here’s some trivia

12 players have had their uniform number Retired.  Name them.  Bonus their number?

The 49ers started in 1946 in the All America Football Conference.  Who was their first draft choice ?

They joined the NFL in 1950.  Who was their first NFL draft choice ?

And I have more later

11 bingos. But not Wilcox which surprised me. Remember the photo of Title. Well this 49er has a similar photo

Yes Leo the Lion Nomellini

Nope on Standlee. But I just realized a trick question. The first ever draft choice was after the first season

Duh. Finally figured out it was Charlie Krueger.

The AAFC draft choice was either Six Yard Sitko, Doc Blanchard or Glenn Davis. I vaguely remember that both MR. Inside and Mr. Outside were drafted and one of them by the Niners. Blanchard went into the Air Force and never played pro football and Davis played for the Rams after they moved from Cleveland. He attempted a Hollywood career and married a star, maybe Terry Moore?

Still looking for the first 49er NFL draft choice

OK, I think the '46 AAFC pick was Glenn Davis.

First two HOF Niners ... Perry and Nomellini.

Terry Moore was married to Glenn Davis in 1951..... and they divorced in 1952. She was in many pictures including the original Mighty Joe Young and Peyton Place.

Her namesake was an American professional athlete. Any ideas Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbb?

From 1947-58 the NFL used a lotto system for the first draft pick. Done until all the teams had the “bonus” pick. Who was the Niners pick? What Stanford player was one of the 12?

Bobby Garrett Stanford of course

Dicky Moegle or Matt Hazeltine ?

Missed you got Leo as you got so many right
Len Eshmont scored the first TD

Good guesses. It was Harry Babcock of Georgia. Played three undistinguished years. The Browns, probably the greatest team ever over a ten year period, knew that Otto Graham was soon for retirement even though he was still as good as ever. He had no more worlds to conquer. Paul Brown recognized that Garrett was the first of the Post WW2 passers who were going to change football from the single wing punt on third down era to the passing era. Alas Brown had trouble pivoting and Garrett was traded.
