Niners haven't drafted 11 players since the 2016 draft.

BTW, I know that Lynch/Shanahan has caught some grief for less-than-stellar drafts. They've drafted 49 players since they arrived in 2017, and 42 of the 49 made a 2022 NFL roster, including all of the players from the last three drafts.

Not on an NFL roster are (2019) Jalen Hurd, Kaden Smith and Tim Harris; (2018) Richie James (#240 pick overall), and (2017) Reuben Foster, Joe Williams and Pita Taumoepenu. Of those seven no longer on a roster, three were sixth round picks and one was a 7th rounder.

I think the draft criticism relates to some first round misses.  Overall, I think it’s pretty hard to complain about their record on draft picks. Even harder to complain about roster construction.

Right, they've had a slightly alarming number of underperforming early picks; e.g., Jackson, Davis-Price, Gray, Sermon, Kinlaw, Pettis, Thomas, Foster, Beathard and Williams.  All (except Williams) chosen third round or earlier. Most are still on NFL rosters, but all underperformed.
