 * In the first three years as an NFL team, the 49ers picked three consecutive future Hall of Famers in the first round: Leo Nomellini, Y.A.

 * True, but the citations still need to be formatted properly, and the citations to #7 and #12 at this point are not. Rlendog (talk) 05:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * All the footnotes need to be verified.
 * For the entries in the table that don't have notes available, they should have emdashes (the long dash located in the toolbox).
 * The color coding explanation should be in the key not above the table itself.-- TRU    CO   01:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Dabs need to be fixed. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Most of the transactions should have in line citations. One of the general references seems to cover them, but that is just a cover page, and one has to search to find the appropriate transactions.  The transaction citations should link to the page that supports the transaction. Rlendog (talk) 05:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
