Well it's good to see that we all know who the best players in that draft are 4 years later.

There were plenty of people here suggesting Raji, Crabtree, among others. I don't even remember anyone talking about Jackson till the rumor of us taking him came up just before the draft.

I would say a good 50% of fans wanted Aaron Curry. Because remember at that time DJ was a 'bust'.

Not here they didn't. There were a handful of people that wanted Curry. Not surprisingly, the people that were most vocal about NOT wanting Curry were also the same people that were most vocal about not liking the Jackson pick.

Depends on the timeframe we are discussing.

When I first got here, there were TONS of people that wanted Curry. He was even called the messiah or something.

I was ridiculed to no end for my desire for us to take either Orakpo (my top guy) or Crabtree (who was a distant second) because it seemed the board was split into two major groups:

Sanchez
Curry

There were smaller groups, but iirc those were the two major sides until mid march.

Well, Pioli is the one saying he'd draft the same guy over again 4 years later. And no, it's not GM speak. He doesn't have to say that.

And if you have a functional brain, you'd know who they were right after the 2009 season.

Pioli is smarter than everyone. It's a process.

I'll never forget watching that draft; my brother, as our pick approached, said "here comes Tyson Jackson". I was like "What? who the F is that. That doesn't even sound familiar"

he's known for being very sarcastic, so I figured he was.

then the pick was annouced. .....even then I thought "....what"?

Dumbass troll alert.

[The Bad Guy]

I wanted Crabtree, so no, I did not want Aaron Curry.

[BossChief]

Wow. Pioli actually took the blame for Cassel and admitted that he made "lots of mistakes" and when they asked him to elaborate, he said he made so many that he would need to think about it and call back in to give a full answer.

First time I've heard him take responsibility for failures.

Then, he follows it up saying he would draft TJ AGAIN and give him 30 million again.

Man, I wish I could hear this. Any way to access it? Archive somewhere?

There were AT LEAST double that amount of Sanchez guys that offseason.

Even after the trade for Cassel, there were a lot of guy still wanting us to take Sanchez.
