Great Player Every Round

RollinWith21n52 · 2009-07-19T13:05:38-07:00

Was thinking the other day how over the last decade we have DRAFTED a goo player (or one with the potential to be a good player) in over half the rounds, but failed to have any success in other rounds. If I'm missing anyone for those rounds, please correct me. 1 -- Patrick Willis. The 3rd best 1st round pick this franchise has ever made. 2 -- Chilo Rachal. This is difficult because under the McCloughan regime we've only made two second round picks, but this one actually seems to have the potential to be very good. 3 -- Frank Gore. 4 -- this is the round we've had no success with 5 -- this is the other round we've had little success with. Hopefully McKillop changes this. 6 -- Josh Morgan. He's not a great player yet, of course. But he has shown enough to get excited about. 7 -- Eric Heitman. This is the only player on the list drafted outside of the McCloughan regime.

Maybe not great yet, but how about Parys Haralson in the 5th round. Still a good draft pick either way.

I would also give a nod to Joe Staley as well.

Cool post. Hopefully Goldson and Brown/Haralson can step up to fill those 4th and 5th round spots. Although I personally feel we gotgood value on M Robinson in the 4th back in 2006.

I agree I think M Robinson will have a good year, and will continue to develop his game over the upcoming seasons to be a telented player

I agree. I was very surprised not to see that Brown in the 5th round spot. In my eyes he has been as solid as you can be for a fifth round pick.

He, just as much as anyone has shined when given the opportunity.

Also I would throw Delanie Walker in the 6th round pick position. Although obviously Morgan is going to keep the spot light there.

Without this draft we don't win back to back Superbowls. I count eight guys drafted in 1986 who made major contributions from 88-90.

Walsh was amazing.

Walsh was six for six in third and fourth rounds. Unbelievable!
