We were talking about draft recap shows.
We have no idea how these drafts are going to play out, how any team's draft actually worked out for at least three seasons, immediate evaluation, generally kind of silly.
For example, and I mentioned this with Derek the other day, you know, on PMT, they talked about the 2012 Seattle draft with Bruce Ervin, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson.
They also traded away a fifth rounder
to Buffalo, or they traded away a fifth rounder for Marshawn Lynch.
Despite this, they received an F from Bleacher Report for their draft that year.
The key line, Pete Carroll was proving why he didn't make it in the NFL the first time.
The point is all those guys became hugely important to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl within a couple of years.
That same year, the 49ers got a C plus for their draft, which is now considered the worst draft by any modern NFL team.
Seven drafted players that garnered four touchdowns.
Total starts for the Niners.
Five of those seven players were gone before the next season.

He declined the offer to work out with 49ers legend Jerry Rice in the offseason.
Cut zero passes for the Niners before getting traded to Kansas City.
That's my point.

Jenkins...
