Anyone doubting Baalke and Harbaugh's drafting ability?

The 2011 class was great and all but 2012 produced nothing. AJ Jenkins is a bust up to this point, and we got no production from anyone other than LMJ. I am havibg creeping doubts that we wont land the best talent. Anyone else concerned?

What does this have to do with free agency? wrong section.
They seem to do VERY well in FA.

i was a critical as anyone for the draft last year but you know,, i have a feeling we got at least four guys in the two backers, jenkins and looney who will do good things for us this year

we didnt get much production b/c were stacked and they were only making the team as backups, think about it...

I have some fears but we'll see if they can win me over.

Well, you don't judge drafts after one season -- especially when a handful of the players had season-ending injuries / were drafted as a project players and depth.

Baalke's first three drafts . . . pretty solid

7 237 Johnson, Cam DE Virginia
Nice breakdown
No drafter can "hit" with every pick. I've been impressed with Baalke's approach and I have come to trust his strategy. Still not loving the Jenkins pick, though.
