Was Jake Ryan even our best player last year? I thought he was mediocre as hell as a middle linebacker.

I'm a skeptic but I think your analysis is fair, for the most part.
I'd take exception to the similarity you offer b/t SF and M in a rebuilding mode regarding "badass lineman." Harbaugh had the luxury at SF of plugging in lineman from the draft that would be immediate contributors.
None of the recruits M is targeting or already has commitments from as linemen, defense or offense, won't be immediate contributors. So there is that.
Harbaugh had Frank Gore on the roster as well. M dos not have a comparable power back. It has power backs but no one on that level.
Morris or Ruddock, the likely starters, aren't Colin Kaepernick to start with.
Finally, Anquan Bolden. Does M have anybody even remorely close to that skill level on the WR roster. Nope.
So, Harbaugh is dealing with the M roster he has on offense. There's some talent but it is by no means equivalent to what he was working with when he hit the ground running at SF.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

To explain, I mentioned that I saw similarities between the 2011 9ers and the 2015 Michigan squad. First, both teams have decent talent. Second, both teams seem to have a premium put on the oline. Lastly, the 9ers drafted Navarro Bowman in 2010, along with Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis. I like our prospects with Jonathan Jones and Devin Bush.
Per Wiki - "....In the first round of the 2010 draft the 49ers moved up two picks by trading their #13 pick and 4th Round pick to the Denver Broncos to move up to pick #11, with which they selected offensive tackle Anthony Davis from Rutgers. Six picks later, the 49ers again chose to solidify their offensive line by selecting top-rated guard Mike Iupati out of Idaho."
I admit it was a bit of a stretch to compare the 2011 9ers to this Michigan squad but hey, fuck it.Monkeys don't sell bananas.
