2007 Draft Revisited

Still, f**k McClueless.

We need justification to bash him?

Wasn't Nolan still technically the GM that year?

1 11 Patrick Willis ILB 6-1 240 Mississippi
1 28 Joe Staley OT 6-6 306 Central Michigan
3 34 Ray McDonald DT 6-3 276 Florida
4 27 Dashon Goldson FS 6-2 202
5 10 Tarell Brown CB 5-11 192 Texas

Good draft, but yes. Look at the next year.

1 29 San Francisco 49ers Kentwan Balmer
2 39 San Francisco 49ers Chilo Rachal
3 75 San Francisco 49ers Reggie Smith CB
4 107 San Francisco 49ers Cody Wallace C
5 – San Francisco 49ers selection forfeited as penalty for violating anti-tampering rules
6 174 San Francisco 49ers Josh Morgan WR
7 214 San Francisco 49ers Larry Grant (who became a starter on the Rams team after being plucked from the practice squad - glad he's back).

He did okay with his 6th and 7th round picks there..but yeah, the rest were a miss. Reggie isn't horrible..but not worth a 3rd round.

Plus he flamed out at corner

Good draft, no doubt. But what did we trade for Staley? I would say that trade up pick was just ok.

Can't bash him for that draft. It was great.

traded the next years number 1 which ended up being a top 10 pick, then later in the 07 draft we acquired indys 08 #1 in a trade where indy took our 07 2nd pick and took tony ugoh, the staley move basically cost us about 20 slots in the first round of 08

Sedrick Ellis or Jerod Mayo.

Besides Larry Grant, not a good draft at all. Rachal is a human turnstile, Balmer sucks in Seattle and Morgann cant stay on the field.

I would if he could stay healthy. The guy has skills when he's on the field.
