That's the real question; is Perry Riley's leadership skills and understanding of the defense accelerating as rapidly as his physical play on the field did last season. If he's up to the task, we draft someone mid rounds for depth that may turn into the next Perry Riley. And Perry becomes the next London Fletcher.

I think this is the reason why London needs to be back. I feel that Riley needs another year under London to become a good QB of the defense.
On a somewhat related note, I was listening to an interview with Patrick Willis on ESPN's Football Today podcast. And I was thinking that the 49ers must have the best ILB duo in the NFL in Willis and Navarro Bowman.
