As some folks mentioned yesterday, last night was very much like Christmas Eve for football fans, which makes today Christmas Day! For those who haven't checked your calendar, the NFL Draft is about as close to a midway point of the offseason as we get. The 49ers season ended the first week of January, almost 4 months ago. Training camp begins the last week of July, which is a little over 3 months from now. Things will slow down in the coming months, but that gives us all kinds of time to introduce the new San Francisco 49ers, and prepare for what should be an exciting 2010 season.
As this is sort of like Christmas for football fans, I thought I'd provide you all with a bit of a present first thing in the morning. Thanks to the crew of writers we've added in the past few months, our draft coverage was better than it's ever been. Given the insane amount of coverage we had the past few months, I thought it would be useful to provide a single post with links to all this information.
So, after the jump we've got a plethora of information for you. Before we get to that, the 49ers were kind enough to send me their official 2010 Draft Release (PDF). The release includes a variety of historical draft information as it relates to the 49ers. Also, if you are interested, a while back we posted a user-created NFL Draft Trade Value Chart.
After the jump, we've got a list of the 49ers picks this year, followed by all 100 of Drew's 100 in 100 posts on various potential draft picks posted in alphabetical order. You can go to the 100 in 100 section to view them in numeric order, but hopefully this post makes it easier to find guys you want to read about.
After that, I've posted the final results of our Big Board vote. We've got 100 names, and it will be interesting to see how the 49ers draft as compared to our community big board. I'll include the Big Board in our initial draft post, and sometime next week I'll do a rundown of how our board looked compared to the final picks.
Finally, I included links to each of Josh Branco's free agency review/draft previews for the 49ers various 2010 opponents. As useful as it is to know about our own team, having some insight about other teams can be incredibly important for understanding them next season.
Enjoy!
