Question for all: How do the niners run their draft as far as coaches are concerned? Would Morton have any input about prospects? Or do they rely on the scouts?

I still think that 2012 draft was basically, Baalke's first real year and he appeased his position coaches...every pick went right down the line for each position coach. And it failed badly. So he went back to HIS format after that and the past two drafts have been much more consistent and far more successful. In fact, I evaluated his 2013 draft closely and in the Team Needs thread, predicted we'd take Ward. I think every year you're going to see drafts closer to 2013 and 2014 than 2012 (an anomaly).

Interesting! This sounds right...sort of what they do on offense and need to go back to one guy in charge? LOL! I think the draft is sort of an art form in that one guy has to internalize all the info and be able to evaluate cross position value...not easy for position coaches so Baalke has to be the collator of all input when making a pick. Hope you are right! Bodes well for the future!

It sure does. It still is insane to me to see all these 2014 picks not only playing but playing significant roles for us ALREADY!

Really? What other WRs would you have preferred in that draft? Just for the record, I'm not happy with Crabs comments after last week's game either and no I don't think he's elite but he's been a very very good WR for us. To act like he's not or downplay that fact is just ignorant.
Crabtree WAS a very good WR for us through 2012. Last season he was injured and didn't have the burst when he came back. This season appears more of the same. You can't downplay the seriousness of an Achilles surgery on a WR. He obviously is not as quick as he was, but he is also not able to make the same cuts and is having a helluva time getting separation. Forgetting his attitude and hangdog look, he is just not performing and 8 drops is the proof. There is zero chance of him getting a huge salary at year's end and he has always wanted to play for Dallas. Maybe we can package him with VD and get Dez Bryant in return.

Actually, Lloyd has had three good games but was inactive for one and has been used solely as a decoy by King Roman. I think we should be starting Lloyd and Johnson along with Boldin. Boldin is our most reliable, Johnson has been the most efficient and gets open far more easily than Crabtree, and Lloyd, when given a chance, has proven that he can get deep and draws the attention of the defense. Plus, he has great hands and drops nothing. Crabtree fails to get open regularly, and has 8 drops and a hangdog attitude. He and VD are currently taking up space along with a lot of salary...
