A lot of 49ers fans wanted DGB. Some in front office did too. Ownership said "no thanks" to him being the pick in Round 1.
Yeah, betting a 1st round pick on DGB to get his head out of his ass in time to make a career for himself wasn't going to be wise. The Titans used a 2nd and that turned out not to be wise. If DGB gets his head right after this, it may just be that the Eagles reap the benefits.

Agreed. As a rule ownership should stay TF out of the way. If the football guy making the picks consistently screws up then the owner replaces that guy, but let your football people do their jobs. As much as we (the 49ers) need a stud #1 WR, I don't know that DGB is that guy, and he certainly doesn't appear to have merited a 2nd (let alone a 1st) round selection either.
