The funny thing about this draft is everyone knew this at the time. When each of those picks were made, we all went. :mindblown:

Far cry from the 1997 NFL draft when only Jim Druckenmiller went in the first round to San Fran and only he and Jake Plummer went the first day of the draft.

Top 10 GOAT/WOAT football player name ever. Equal parts :dahell:/:blessed:/:russ:

It was incredible. Nobody in their right mind who watched Ponder, Gabbert or Locker in college thought they would be anything more than journeymen.

what 3 guys stand out as busts? keeping in mind that while 3 was too high Dareus made the Pro Bowl last year and is a big reason why BUF clogs the run

1 1 Carolina Panthers Cam NewtonQB Auburn SEC
1 2 Denver Broncos Von MillerLB Texas A&M Big 12
1 3 Buffalo Bills Marcell DareusDE Alabama SEC
1 4 Cincinnati Bengals A. J. GreenWR Georgia SEC
1 5 Arizona Cardinals Patrick PetersonCB LSU SEC
1 6 Atlanta Falcons Julio JonesWR Alabama SEC from Cleveland [R1 - 1]
1 7 San Francisco 49ers Aldon SmithLB Missouri Big 12
1 8 Tennessee Titans Jake Locker QB Washington Pac-10
1 9 Dallas Cowboys Tyron SmithOT USC Pac-10
1 10 Jacksonville Jaguars Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri Big 12 from Washington [R1 - 2]
1 11 Houston Texans J. J. WattDE Wisconsin Big Ten
1 12 Minnesota Vikings Christian Ponder QB Florida State ACC
1 13 Detroit Lions Nick Fairley DT Auburn SEC
1 14 St. Louis Rams Robert QuinnDE North Carolina ACC
1 15 Miami Dolphins Mike PounceyC Florida SEC
1 16 Washington Redskins Ryan KerriganDE Purdue







outside of Fairley, the other 12 non-Gabby/Ponder/Locker guys have made Pro Bowls and there are 7 borderline or established superstars in there. good ass 1st round...

EJ manuel is proof.

I specifically remember folks :snoop: when SF picked Aldon over Gabbert
I thought aldon was a project who was very risky, I remember I wanted quinn, kerrigan and fairley over him :pachaha:
osboog who was a huge Niners fan back on sohh swore by gabbert but most of us Niner fans didnt think he was that good at all
