Did the 49ers recover from 2012′s draft mistakes?
The San Francisco 49ers 2012 NFL draft class were heavily criticized after selecting A.J. Jenkins at the bottom of the first-round and having no rookies start out of the class. The criticism was warranted after Jenkins didn’t catch a single pass, and LaMichael James was lukewarm compared to the running backs they passed on in David Wilson and Doug Martin. However, the 49ers 2013...

ESPN's magic pixie dust makes you want to watch the NFL Draft
This was supposed to be the year. At the ripe old age of 30, the stars had lined up for me not to give a **** about the NFL Draft.
My alma mater, Ohio State, doesn't have a huge pool of prospects that I want to follow for their draft day narratives.
My pro team, the 49ers, don't really need much help in the draft. In fact, their first round pick from last year, A...
Anquan Boldin trade proves trouble with A.J. Jenkins
The San Francisco 49ers’ trade for Anquan Boldin proves more about how they feel about A.J. Jenkins, than about how they feel about Boldin.

49ers draft pick accumulation isn’t necessarily a good thing
The San Francisco 49ers are stockpiling draft picks in the 2013 NFL draft like a squirrel getting ready for winter, but will these picks really pay off once winter comes in the Playoffs? The 49ers will have five picks in the first 100 picks, but the 2012 draft was an exercise in disappointment.

Draft Profile: WR – Tavon Austin
The 49ers will look to the draft to address the wide receiver position. Outside of Michael Crabtree the wide receving corps is a question mark.

All was resolved and...
49ers, A.J. Jenkins’ rookie season a failure
