Jenkins turned out to be a miss but passing on Alshon is not a huge miss. Alshon has Alshon to blame for falling, and also Alshon's best fit is at flanker same as Crabtree. We needed to find someone who could compete at split end.
IMO, and i love Trent, it was indeed a huge miss. The whole draft was horrible. There was absolutely no one that would have picked Jenkins over Jeffrey except Trent.
Sometimes you miss, but that draft was certainly outside the norm, and if walls could talk i would bet there were some major behind the scenes debates/disagreements between GM/Coach that led to some of those questionable picks.
What leads you to believe that? Jenkins seemed like a desperation pick, and LaMichael James obviously was supposed to fit into a pre-conceived team structure that's why we signed who he was supposed to be (Reggie Bush).
Jenkins was a puzzlement, but I am not a GM, for me LMJ was even more so than Jenkins because we had Hunter... whereas Jenkins we had no speedy wr and it was desperation. Many times we don't hear the stories, like singletary demanding we pick that safety from USC, what's name-no really whats his name. Or that Harbaughs wr coach jumping up and down the table for a wr prospect (another USC product).
If anything our wr coach sucked as much as our OC. Not to mention why the hell did JH name mangini the TE's coach? I think that was another reason for the downfall of the TE position last year.
