ESPN, PFF rank 49ers' roster as third-best in NFL entering 2020 season

In three years, 49ers general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have built a juggernaut in Santa Clara.

The duo was hired in 2017, and took over a roster that was depleted. The 49ers were coming off a 2-14 season in 2016 when Lynch and Shanahan came on board.

But in the blink of an eye, the 49ers went from 4-12 in 2018 to playing in the Super Bowl last season.

And the best part for the 49ers and their fans is that it appears the team has a roster that is built to last.
