Not sure if this is in the right section (if not can the Mods move it, thanks) because I don't talk about any particular players just the draft in general.
I feel really good going into the 2011 season, we have the coach we want, I think we have big time players in a lot of positions (ILB, TE, WR, RB) and one good draft we could hopefully do a lot better next season (sound familiar?).
I think we are in the best position to "hit" on this draft in a long time. Something that may have been overlooked is the fact that Harbaugh should have inside knowledge of a lot of the college players coming out in the 2011 draft.
I know other teams will have done scouting, but he has had to game-plan for a lot of these players and knows their strengths and weaknesses, probably more so than other coaches who are only now reading/watching scouting reports. I do realise they have scouts watching throughout the season, but I suspect not nearly to the same level as Harbaugh has.
I also think that being an offensive play-caller he is in a better position to find a good CB (or general defensive players) in the later rounds as he will have seen more tape on them then most, if not all, other teams.
Excellent post and right on the mark. Hopefully we can get players that will add to our strengths and able to play right away?
