Strange and Bigsby were big reaches. 

Antonio Johnson and Parker Washington have potential. 

Don't know what else to say about the rest. They're looking like scrubs who will be out of the league in a couple years. 

Baalke had several 49ers drafts. None of them are very good. I couldn't believe he got promoted after Caldwell was fired. Khan went the cheap, convenient, and lazy route with this hire.

Those two picks just confuse me so much, like.. ETN is only technically playing his 2nd season, Evan Engram is resigned... like, they were always gonna be backups.. and we had holes on the line and NB.. just don't get it

Doug's offense works pretty well with 2 tight ends, so it's not all that surprising that we took one. Also remember at the draft Engram was tagged and we had no assurances that he'd be here more than the one more season. Had they not worked out a longer deal after the draft we could be seeing Strange as the #1 TE next season, so I think there was some looking ahead to be sure we had a capable starter in 2024 if needed.
