SteVo+ 3,702 Posted February 11, 2012 Per Rotoworld: 49ers signed GM Trent Baalke to an extension through 2016.The NFL's 2011 Executive of the Year as voted by the Pro Football Writers of America, Baalke was promoted from 49ers VP of Player Personnel to GM in 2011. A scout going since 1998, Baalke looks to have nailed his first draft class. First-rounder Aldon Smith and third-rounder Chris Culliver are long-term building blocks, while Kendall Hunter (fourth round) and Bruce Miller (seventh) made major rookie-year impacts. The 49ers also got a promising young QB in freakishly strong-armed, athletic second-round pick Colin Kaepernick. Looking back, that was a pretty sick draft class by San Francisco. Another year or two drafting like that and they'll be beasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah, we had a tremendous draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RANGA+ 1,210 Posted February 12, 2012 Yup 9ers had a great draft. Liking this extension. We just gotta keep building through the draft and adding in the odd veteran here and there (eg. Carlos Rogers and Donte Whitner this season) and we're looking like definite contenders again. Go 9ers!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
