Quote:Completely agree.  That's the definition of drafting the correct value.  If you see risk in the player (such as less than ideal traits) then you set value accordingly.

 

Harbaugh said he thought Kaepernick was the best player in the draft.  That doesn't mean they should have drafted him as high as they could.  You seek to value the player's stock to the best of your ability and draft them as close to that as you can.

Taking this at face value

This can only mean one of three things...


1). Harbaugh and Baalke disagreed over who the best player in that draft was, because that same draft saw the 49ers take Aldon Smith first.


2) Harbaugh was lying...or


3). The 49ers are not a BAP drafting team. The whole thing about BAP drafting is "Rank em and pick em"
