Overall, a good season for the Niners. Yeah it was a tough loss but not unexpected when facing a very good team that has a significant home field advantage and was built to beat them. I'm hoping Levi's Stadium can become a similar home for the 49ers next year.

Although I'm disappointed with the way the season ended, I really enjoy the offseason "chess" of rebuilding the team with new players.

The way I see it, the 49ers needs are:

Wide Receiver - I'd love them to go after Josh Gordon or someone like him. Crabtree, Boldin, and Patton are not deep threats at all. Boldin is a free agent too.

Cornerback - Brown and Brock are ok but the unit could use an upgrade.

Safety - Donte Whitner is a free agent and I wouldn't be surprised if he left. He's a liability in coverage anyway and the refs flag him every time he hits someone too hard, legal hit or not.

Defensive Line - Justin Smith can't go on forever and Seattle exposed a weakness - they were pushed back off the line of scrimmage quite often on run plays.

Kicker - either keep Dawson for field goals/extra points and get a kickoff specialist or get a kicker that can kick field goals and touchbacks. Opposing teams had too many opportunities for returns.

Quarterback Guru Coach - I'm worried Kaepernick has hit his ceiling, development-wise. He really has no excuses since he has a great o-line, a running game, decent receivers, and a good defense.

Fellow 49ers fans, what do you think??
