With all the information available on the internet, I honestly feel I (most Outlaws) could draft as well (if not better) as the SF front office through the first 3 rounds, and assuming I had coaches input on what they felt were the detailed needs of the team for the later rounds, probably through the entire draft.
A few examples of obvious mistakes by the team over the years that I hated at the time of the pick, so no hindsight involved:
Jim Druckenmiller: WTF were they thinking? Guy could pull a truck. How the fock does that equate to being an NFL QB? He was horrible. This was also at a time when they were a good team, so even more perplexing.
Dexter Carter: The team was in arrogance mode coming off a title and felt they could waste a 1st rounder on a 3rd down back/KR. What they needed was help on the O-line since several of their players were getting older.
Mike Rumph: Couldn't cover and they drafted him as a CB. Guy was a safety and not worthy of a 1st rounder. Another WTF reaction when they called his name.
Then the biggest WTF ever was last year and thank god it wasn't SF this time and allowed a potential great player to fall to us, but when the Raiders selected DHB, I don't remember a single positive response from any one watching or posting on the web, even Raider fans. It's like everyone knew he didn't run good routes and had suspect hands except the team drafting him at # 7. This pick is generally attributed to Al Davis, but come on, someone else in the organization had to have a similar opinion.
Just saying...........
