Now that 2 full seasons have gone by, it would be fair to assess the 2012 draft - and it obviously was not Baalke's best one with AJ Jenkins obviously being the biggest reason why...That year I really wanted them to take either Coby Fleener or Rueben Randle...and now that I REALLY look back, Alshon Jefferey was available too! Ughhh!..In 2013, I was hoping for WR Terrance Williams out of Baylor in Rd 3 but the Cowboys took him...We definitely need a deep threat at wideout!...Back to the 2012 draft, Rd 2 we took LaMichael James. He obviously has not gotten much playing time with a crowded backfield, but might that finally change next year? Gore may be on his way out, but then there is Lattimore. Hunter is a change of pace back...I mean it kinda sucks to draft someone so high and rarerly use him. He has provided a spark in the KR game, but you expect more from a second round pick. He played well last year when he backed up Gore late in the season. The lack of production is on the coaches in my opinion for not using him - although Baalke and Harbaugh both stated that James was drafted with an eye toward the future, we'll see....And the other player I want to address is G Joe Looney...Kid definitely has potential and I thought he played well against the Rams at RG when Boone moved to LT to replace Staley...Maybe he has a great offseason and starts to show his potential more and more and negates the need to extend Iupati..We'll see...So, James and Looney may still be worth it, I think so!...But that AJ Jenkins pick just HURTS!
