Some of these aren\u2019t even up for debate<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we highlighted the best picks of the past five drafts for the 49ers<\/a>. Today, we turn to the picks that didn\u2019t work out from the past five drafts. <\/p>\n

2023: Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, this may seem harsh, considering Latu didn\u2019t play a single down following a season-ending injury<\/a>. But Latu\u2019s drop issues preceded the injury as the pick was initially viewed as a \u201creach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the current offseason, and the 49ers continue to look for a TE2, which isn\u2019t a ringing endorsement for Latu \u2014 or Brayden Willis, for that matter. The smart money is on the 49ers drafting another tight end with one of their 11 draft picks a year after they used a third-rounder on a tight end. That says it all.<\/p>\n

2022: Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, <\/strong>LSU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I struggled to choose one pick from this draft class, which includes Danny Gray, Nick Zakelj, and Tariq Castro-Fields. Forty attempts are all TDP would accomplish as a 49er, and now, sits on the Eagles roster.<\/p>\n

The tale of the third-round running back is not only a running joke amongst 49ers fans and draft analysts but is almost to be expected. Back-to-back drafts saw the 49ers select a running back who would end up with the Eagles. <\/p>\n

2021: Trey Lance, QB, NDSU<\/strong><\/p>\n

This pains me to type. I think we all remember the excitement of the 49ers holding the third pick and then using it on Lance, but unfortunately, after factoring in the three first-round picks sent, the third overall pick, and the position selected, the pick has to Lance.<\/p>\n

The 49ers traded Lance for a fourth-round pick<\/a> to the hated Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, and they need to thank their lucky stars for allowing Brock Purdy to become what he is. Sustaining success with such a big whiff of a quarterback prospect is no small feat. <\/p>\n

2020: Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n

Injuries can derail a player\u2019s development. Following the 49ers trading DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> for the number 14 overall pick, the team selected Kinlaw to fill in for Buckner immediately. That\u2019s part of the troubled evaluation of Kinlaw. He was never going to be Buckner, but with that high of a pick and the trade, they would be compared regardless.<\/p>\n

Staying on the field was Kinlaw\u2019s biggest challenge, but this past season, he stayed healthy and contributed solidly as a rotational defensive tackle. The Jets pulled Kinlaw away this offseason, but Kinlaw\u2019s time will be remembered as a \u201cwhat could have been\u201d situation. <\/p>\n

2019: Jalen Hurd, WR, Baylor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let me begin by saying I understand what Kyle Shanahan was envisioning by selecting Hurd. A versatile weapon that could be a matchup nightmare. Unfortunately, all we have from Hurd\u2019s time was a two-touchdown preseason performance against the Dallas Cowboys, as injuries ruined Hurd\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

What makes the pick sting a bit more is the Washington Commanders<\/a> would select Terry McLaurin from Ohio State<\/a> just a few picks later. Don\u2019t worry, I am not bitter about passing on McLaurin, nope, not one bit. I literally never think about what McLaurin would look like in this offense. It\u2019s fine, no big deal. <\/p>\n
