Curious, why no SEC draftees or UDFA's?

It seems like Baalke is more enamored with Big 10 and smaller schools.

Every one else took them first. That's what happens when you are picking 30th.

Given the success we've had in the past with SEC players I think it has to be pure coincidence.

Because.

Because you touch yourself at night

I don't think Baalke puts much stock into which conference a prospect played in. He looks for production, talent, and character. If the kid is from a big time conference like the SEC, thats great, but its not a big determining factor.

Because the one's that were left for us to pick all suck

He picks the player first. I'm sure their level of competition goes into his decision making process but isn't the sole deciding factor.

I wished so hard for the Niners to pick Alshon Jeffery that it backfired and they didn't pick anyone else from the SEC at all.

The board didn't go that way this year. No one ever goes into a draft thinking that they HAVE to draft someone for a certain conference. I guarantee if we had a top 5 pick and Blackmon and T Rich were of the board, we would have taken Claiborne.
