2001 Andre Carter DE Cal 10 Remains last 49er with a double-digit sack season (12.5 in '02); he had 11.0 in '09 for Washington.
2002 Mike Rumph CB Miami 5 Proved to be a poor one-on-one cover man and managed only three career interceptions.
2003 Kwame Harris T Stanford 6 Never developed even adequate pass-protection skills at left tackle and fared no better in failed stint with Raiders.
2004 Rashaun Woods WR Oklahoma State 1 Among the worst 49ers picks ever, Woods managed seven career catches and helped doom GM Terry Donahue.
2005 Alex Smith QB Utah 6 Top overall pick has ho-hum stat line of a journeyman: 174 passing yards per game, 51 TD, 54 INT.
2006 Vernon Davis TE Maryland 4 Shook off slow career start to emerge as premier TE -- 20 TDs over past two seasons.
2007 Patrick Willis ILB Mississippi 3 First 49ers player to reach the Pro Bowl in his first four seasons since Ronnie Lott.
2008 Kentwan Balmer DT North Carolina 3 Disgruntled over playing time, forced trade to Seattle and made 11 starts last season.
2009 Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech 2 Instead of building on promising rookie season (56.8 yds./game) took a step back (46.3 yds./game).
2010 Anthony Davis T Rutgers 1 Among NFL's youngest last season, and it showed, but was never overmatched; better days ahead.

There are some real good picks in there and some horrific disasters. And some players we didn't hang on to.
