The greatest eras of 49ers football, Giants baseball, and Warriors basketball have one thing in common. Each franchise drafted the vast majority of its most important players. At a time when Bay Area sports fans are clamoring for the 49ers, Giants, and Warriors to continue adding to their roster through free agency and trades, it’s important to remember that there’s no viable path to the top without drafting the right players. Joe Montana? Buster Posey? Steph Curry? All franchise-altering draft picks. Which Bay Area franchise will win a title next?

On this episode of “Section 415,” host Kerry Crowley traces the rise and fall of Bay Area dynasties through their best and worst draft picks. Learn more about your ad choices.
