Former San Francisco 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan recently joined Twitter, and he is fast becoming one of my favorite follows. We’ll take a look at a host of his answers, but one of my favorites was about the 2010 NFL Draft.
In mid-March of 2010, McCloughan was fired by the 49ers. Trent Baalke became effectively the acting general manager, and led the draft room that April. The 49ers walked away with Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati, NaVorro Bowman, Anthony Dixon, and Kyle Williams. Davis, Iupati and Bowman were key cogs during the Harbaugh years, Dixon was a big special teams player, and Williams of course made his presence known.
