The San Francisco 49ers had many draft ups and downs throughout the 21st century. There were many draft blunders, especially during Trent Baalke’s time as general manager. The majority of the 2012 draft class of the 49ers was out of the NFL after a few seasons.
That draft class was led by a first-round pick, wide receiver A.J. Jenkins, who never saw much action and found himself out of the NFL after three seasons. While the 2012 draft class was one to forget, several other draft classes had much more star power.
The 2007 draft, for example, brought much more success to San Francisco.
