Right off the top Todd Kelly, Balmer, Walsh had a bad one too on his second go around, just can't remember his name right now...

Looked him up — Reggie McGrew

I remember being in pain when that pick was made.

we won a ugly game vs the rams when he was the qb. not trying to humanize him of course.

Man, talk about a comedy of errors - that's a putrid track record.

the crazy thing about Jenkins is he was a total scrub until his last year in Illinois. He had issues with "desire", and they were WELL known before the draft. My personal thought on why he was picked was because the 49ers wanted their version of Victor Cruz. Kinda like the Dexter Carter pick of the (Seifert) era. The 49ers wanted their version of Dave Meggett... I believe that pick took place the same year they lost to the Giants in the NFC championship... Kinda weird.

Totally agreed, I thought the same at the time they drafted both Jenkins and Carter

You can add foster and garnet to that list of flops pretty soon.

I still have hope for the two - got to get their s**t together, though.

Agree too, that was a real big miss by Seifert. It affected our 3 peat efforts.

False start? Play would be blown dead. You mean holding.

no to garnet. he should be part of the overhaul on the line that to many people do not think needs to happen. foster is unreliable at best,, come to think of it,. that is pathetic to think of a guy. who lynch told us would be a cornerstone of our defense, that way
