I gotta say, I'm ridiculously excited for this draft, though I can't tell you why. I think it related to the recent post I had in regards to the fact that the 49ers aren't looking for a player to come in and immediately contribute, so there's essentially less that can go wrong. I'm not wondering how the 49ers will screw this up (unless they do something silly like draft a player specifically because he's from Stanford ... you know ... like Coby Fleener), but instead wondering how Trent Baalke will work his magic this time around.
At any rate, my internet is in and out so I'm just going to list the links today, apologies for the brevity. Enjoy the linkage, chillldren!
