Most Exciting 49ers 1st Pick.

Most vivid memory of excitement about a draft pick was Crabs for sure. I didn't watch college ball much but I remember seeing his game winning catch while watching a game in Vegas the year before and was just so shocked that he fell all the way to us. I dont think he was a complete bust, but certainly did not live up to his full potential.

Crapload of busts. But 2007 we hit just once and we're were competitor for 5 yrs. all it takes is one good draft baby
This draft is the most exciting moment in recent 9er history!! We can't afford to miss!
I really liked Rashaun Woods out of Oklahoma State. That didnt turn out so well.

so much excitement for a "mediocre" receiver

... and you will be posting a very similar one 4 years ( IF ) we draft MAC !!
Under the circumstances I don't recall ever being more excited for a draft pick than this go round. We have an opportunity to choose what may be our first franchise QB in 22 years. At this point I am optimistic and feel that we will make the right decision.

I was actually excited, I like Alex Smith, but we should have went with Rodgers, but his attitude issues he had turned Mike Nolan off, still can't believe he dropped so far, now he's a 1st ballot HOF, while Alex will likely never be a HOF'er, I still feel for him, that injury, coming back, unsigned, apparently the Texans may sign him if Watson isn't on the team.

I hated that pick, and AJ Jenkins. I don't get why or how either went in the 1st rd. I'd also say back in 2000 I was pumped for Ahmed Plummer and Julian Peterson, I think I bought a replica jersey of both after they got drafted.
My dumbass thought Crabtree was it

I was excited in 2009 when we drafted Crabtree, I was on vacation in Florida with my Mom, Sister, Brother, & Sister-In-Law, I watched the draft that yr there, it was the yr before they went primetime, also the yr day 1 started at like 4PM EST, when it used to begin at like Noon EST.
Willis is my pick
This #3 pick is huge but this whole draft is huge as well
