Just had a look at the draft class, and I think the two players I'm most happy about, the two I think might have the potential to become the most memorable franchise contributors, are Patton and Dial. At the positions we got them, they are tremendous bargains. Actually that's not quite right. Marcus Lattimore probably has the long-term potential to be one of the top five players in the entire draft.

I have issues with Harbaugh stemming from the second half of last season, but there's no question that Baalke has been absolutely masterful in building upon the core talent bequeathed him by the previous regime.

Three or four other teams, such as the Chargers, Vikings, Lions and Bills, had seriously impressive drafts this year, but with all the people added over the last few days the 49ers have maintained their lead as the deepest, most talented roster in the league.
