Absolutely. The 49ers are damaging their reputation and future leverage with free agents. I understand the frustration over how Brandon treated the franchise, but it is time to move on.
John Lynch should know better than anyone that Adam Peters won’t budge. Release BA now if you hope to save face with the players. The longer you wait, the more damage is occurring.

In response to the rabid campaign Warren Sharp is currently running to prove John Lynch and the 49ers are draft-incompetent, I did a little quick research—not at all scientifically or mathematically vetted just yet, but numbers run on the actual number of drafted/UDFA players rostered for multiple seasons vs. the number of players acquired through trade or free agency.
In other words: How many players on the 53 man roster for MULTIPLE seasons (the TRUE measure of contribution, because it takes into account valuable depth, not just 1-2 year starters) are there for each team?
The time frame is nine years (from 2017-2025), the length of the Lynch/Shanahan era.
At the top of the list:
The Ravens, Bucs, and Rams—all in the 65-75 percentile. Excellent homegrown talent.
At the bottom: Cards, Commanders, and Panthers—all in the 30-40 percentile. Always buyers, never developers.
The 49ers come in mid pack, right at 16, with a roster comprised of FIFTY PERCENT drafted/UDFA talent. It’s not elite, but it’s clearly competent.
Here’s their grouping:
13. DEN Broncos — 52.4%
14. SEA Seahawks—52.2%
15. L.A. Chargers — 50.8%
16. SF 49ers — 50.2%
17. LV Raiders — 48.5%
18. PHI Eagles — 47.8%
Just two spots above are the World Champion Seahawks. Two spots BELOW are the Eagles (largely applauded as having the “best” GM in football, Howie Roseman). Interesting…
Football analysis requires perspective, context, and proper data fed into the inquiry.
What Sharp is spreading is mostly high-humidity horse manure intended to embrace a trending wave of faux-outrage over a condition that doesn’t actually exist. For clicks? Who knows. But this isn’t good analysis, because it isn’t based on objective data, it’s based on subjective ideas and opinions. Garbage in—garbage out.
Trust the objective facts; don’t invest your belief in this TMZ-style coverage.

@SharpFootball@grantcohn Rating the 2026 class against a crack in your ass or what? Despite all this mumbo jumbo, mock draft derangement syndrome, Niners are still one of the winningest teams in the Shanalynch Era.
12-5 football team
17 of 22 projected starters drafted by the team (10 of 11 on defense)
You’re well within your right to not like a pick, or perhaps an entire draft class.
You can’t say they’re historically bad at acquiring talent relative to the league. That doesn’t add up.
