WTF, they hired Doug Pederson, did I read that right? They chose him & keep Baalke over Byron Leftwhich? I'm a fan of AEW, love Tony Khan, but Shad has to be a moron for keeping Baalke, he can't draft worth s**t, look at the 2012 class, all bad picks, I know people hard on Lynch's misses, but man, Baalke, he drafted AJ Jenkins in the 1st, LaMichael James in the 2nd, Tank Carradine in the 2nd, Joshua Garnett in the 1st(trade up, gave up a lot), gave up a lot to pick Colin Kaepernick in the 2nd, Vance McDonald in the 2nd, Corey Lemonier in the 3rd, Marcus Lattimore in the 4th(never played a down for us), drafted Brandon Thomas & Marcus Martin in the 3rd, Eli Harold in the 3rd, DeAndre Smelter in the 4th over Stefon Diggs, who went in the 5th, Will Redmond & Rashard Robinson in the 3rd, and on top of that, he never spent in FA, he even said he had the go to spend, but chose not to, I mean our biggest FA signings were the likes of Zane Beadles, Torrey Smith(I liked him though, but gave a lot of money), Darnell Dockett(who never played a down, but kept his GTD money), just WOW, I mean WOW, stupid.
from that bad 2012 draft: Joe Looney went on to have quite a long career. You left off 2011 I see where in one draft he got us Aldon Smith, Kap, Culliver, KEndall Hunter, Kilgore, Mike Person and Bruce Miller.
Him getting Bowman in the 3rd in 2010 was incredible. But with that said the Taylor Mays pick was a big whiff.
2011 was a good draft for the most part, till Aldon went dumbass, Kilgore, & Miller we're two of favs during the Harbaugh era, I liked Hunter & Culliver, but not sure what they really did after leaving.
as for Bowman, I always wondered how much of that was Baalke or McCloughan, as Baalke took his place not that long before the draft, but yes Bowman was a great pick.
