San Francisco Drafts #1 WR

The 2009 NFL Draft was full of surprises... Jets trading to get Mark Sanchez, St. Louis skipping Aaron Curry, ect. One of the most notable surprises was the fact that wide receiver Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech wasn't selected until pick #10. That pick belonged to the San Francisco 49ers (Boo-Yah!). No wide receiver has been a true starter on the 49ers since Jerry Rice, who became the greatest wide out of all time. That might change in the 2009 season. Crabtree, who caught for 1,962 yars in his freshman season and 1,165 last year, looks to become the next Jerry Rice. The 49ers are looking to change not only their rosters, but their look. On the bottom of this webpage, I have posted a picture directly from the 49ers owner Jed York of their new uniform. Other 2009 49er draft picks were:
Glen Coffee- RB- Alabama- 74th Overall
Scott McKillop- ILB- Pittsburgh- 146th Overall
Nate Davis- QB- Ball State- 171st Overall
Bear Pascoe- TE- Fresno State- 184th Overall
Curtis Taylor- FS- LSU- 219th Overall
Ricky Jean-Francois- DT- LSU- 244th Overall
