    i still wonder if the 49ers had any thoughts about keeping mccaffrey after the 1994 season

    rice was still great and was amazing in 1995 setting a career high in receiving yards but taylor was showing signs of slowing down even in the 1994 super bowl season and he only played 1 more season in 1995

    guess that’s why 49ers chose to trade up using two 1st for stokes but mccaffrey was a similar big bodied possession WR who ended up having the much better career being a key piece to the broncos two super bowl titles in the late 1997 and 1998

    imagine if 49ers had rice, mccaffrey and still drafted owens in the 3rd round in 1996 … while not wasting two 1st round picks in the trade up in the 1995 draft to address the 49ers roster … how different would those 4 seasons after the 1994 super bowl season been from 1995-1998
