^^ McCloughan didn't make any draft selections in 2010. He was dismissed in March for drinking on the job. So how is that his draft?
It is Trent Baalke's draft. Article from ESPN in March of 2010.

"Trent is leading us into the draft," York said. "Trent is the point person in the draft. He is making draft decisions. ... Trent knows the draft better than anybody else and I have full confidence in him."
So Scott builds a draft board and a couple weeks before thecdraft leaves the team and you want to give Trent ALL the credit. Lol. Why have the drafts been crap since then?
You sir have been owned.
How can you call their 2011 draft crap? That just sounds ill informed and unaccredited. Aldon Smith, Colin Kaepernick, Kendall Hunter, Bruce Miller. Many teams in the league would probably call their draft a home run just by getting a QB like Kaepernick, Wilson, Luck, or RG3. The 49ers not only got a QB like that, but also a few other great picks.
2012 draft looks like junk except for James. Not to mention, the 49ers were making moves throughout the draft. I seem to remember them trading for at least 3 extra picks in the next year... sometimes it is not all about going for it that year, but making success sustainable into the future. Depending how their 2013 draft will look (thanks to the moves in 2012), will decide the overall success of their 2012 draft. The players in 2012 don't look good except for James... but due to the sacrifices they made in 2012 their 2013 draft looks decent so far. Only time will tell. That being said... obviously the draft wasn't a home run, but if the moves then make their 2013 draft a home run... its arguable if it was a crap draft.
For 2013, I am going to assume when you said every drafts been crap since then that you were only referring to 2011 and 2012. 2013 is obviously too soon to tell.
