We've played 8 games now, we were (as a group) on here pretty uncertain of our picks this year heading into the season, NOW what do you guys think and how do you grade our draft class NOW.

Aldon Smith, Hunter and Culliver are all going to be stars on this team, and Miller is very solid and was an excellent pick IMO

It was a real good draft. The only thing I question is Kaep. I think he is less prepared than Alex Smith coming in. LOL.

Overall: A-
The only blemish is trading up for and selecting Kaepernick, IMO. But even then, we won't know if he's a good pick or not for a couple of years. But relative to their draft position, Baalke knocked it out of the park this year.
Aldon Smith..........A+
Colin Kaepernick...D-
Chris Culliver........B+
Daniel Kilgore.......Inc.
Ronald Johnson....F
Kendall Hunter......A
Colin Jones..........Inc.
Bruce Miller..........A
Michael Person....Inc.
Curtis Holcomb....Inc.

Then shouldn't Kaepernick's grade be incomplete? I can't give a D- to an unknown.

At this point of the season, I see it this way. Hopefully we can run it up on the Cards, Rams and Hawks so Kap, Kilgore get some serious play time.

I think we need to give credit where credit is due, Jim Harbaugh. Under the old unnamed regimens, there is no way that Kendall Hunter, Chris Culliver, Bruce Miller or Aldon Smith would have been given playing time. They would have ridden the bench like Bowman, Jason Hill, Ray McDonald, did for years.
The coach is making this an excellent draft by utilizing their talents.

This draft has the potential to be a superstar draft. In 3 or 4 years you could be looking at having 6 starters out of this draft (Smith, Kap, Culliver, Kilgore, Hunter and Miller)

4 strong players (Hunter, Miller, Smith, Culliver) and involved heavily with positive playmaking? That's an A+ draft to me.

Yep. Seriously, guys, anyone not marking this an A at least (and this is so far, obviously) has utterly unreal expectations. This is a really good draft even by Bill Walsh's standards, let alone by subsequent draft standards.
A+
