The NFL had a lottery for a bonus pick at the top of the draft in the 50’s. Bobby Garrett of Stanford was the pick of the Browns who had won multiple titles and then won the lottery. Who was the Niner’s bonus pick during that time?

Harry Babcock
The Niners drafted John Brodie after the '56 season. A bit of a surprise considering their #1 pick in 1956. Who he? Bobbbbb has to wait.

LOL I was 8 when they lost to Detroit back in the day and I think they had already traded John Henry before that season.
I vaguely recall that John Henry was a local guy, from the East Bay. I have no idea who his HD track coach was. Wild guess - Payton Jordan?
I remember John Henry ran really upright and carried the ball out in front of him a lot. I remember the TV announcer on the call: “John Henry Johnson, carrying that ball like a loaf of bread.”
Mostly B&W TV memories from those days - the Alley Oop to RC Owens, Ray Norton outrunning his blockers, Willie Mays roaming the vast wilderness of the LA Coliseum outfield....and then my childhood ended with McCovey’s line drive to Richardson.

Hardimon Cureton one of the mainstays of the National Champs in 1954. UCLA 72 Stanford 0.

LOL by the time I got to HS Coach Cureton didn’t look like he’d run very much. Pretty ironic when the X-country guys would be running by with their tongues hanging out and he’d be yelling at them to keep their arms moving.

Easy. I’ll wait for a bit.
Hint: Babcock first, second was on offense and the answer to a question of who was first in a TV way? Third was a big mistake.
