I'm sure sus wanted aldon smith too lol...regardless of off field stuff (which wasn't an issue on college) dude was a freaking stud and most people weren't happy about the pick after it happened.
I don't remember people being stoked about Ward when it happened...also if you hate every pick you're bound to be right at some pt lol.
Back to my pt, a lot of Harbs/Baalke picks were whiffs. We're going into yr 3 into a massive rebuild, wasn't much of a foundation to start with when Kyle/John got here imo.
Most of Jim/Baalke's good picks or signees were gone by the time Kyle and John arrived, look at Willis, A.Davis, Borland, J.Smith all retiring in one offseason. Aldon going full on moron, Vernon and Gore let walk by Baalke. Remember how mad we were when Gore was let to walk, that's not on Kyle or John, that's on Baalke.
John and Kyle had a s**t roster to begin with, they've had to slowly rebuild cause you can't rebuild in 1 yr, Jim had so much talent all over the field leftover from previous regimes. My philosophy is to sign 2 big FAs each offseason, they've done that, Jet/Richburg(whether you like Jet or not, he was one of the top backs last offseason), and then Dee/Kwon, had they signed a FS to a multi year deal we'd be over the cap next year, we're already at just $3M under next year before carryover.
