Not really no

The only person we passed on that pissed me off is Jarvis Landry. He would dominate in the slot. With his phsyical attitude and Drew's underneath precision, they could have been deadly. Him and Thomas would be the best young duo in the League for years to come.


We traded up in the first that draft to get cooks we weren't going back to back WRs. If you want an LSU player we should have drafted in that draft it was Trai Turner.

Recently Peters is the correct answer.

Turner would be great but the Cooks argument is irrelevant to me, they are very different types of players and would actually compliment each other exceptionally well.

Reid is a team captain and a pro bowler.
Yes, his play hasn't been what it was in the past but the 49ers have fallen apart and he was one of the brightspots.
Reid is a better leader, tackler, and better in coverage...that's just my opinion.

That said, is stillmpissed we passed on Landry. Him + Brees = domination

People love the whole "we should have drafted Jarvis Landry" completely forget:

1. We just moved up to pick Cooks
2. We still had Graham, Colston, and Stills

While on the other end, we lost our #2 CB
Not defending taking SJB because that was not a good idea, but going for a corner was infinitely more necessary than WR at the time.

Like ^ said, Trai Turner would have been the one to complain about.
