That happens, for any number of reasons.

If a GM is hitting about 40% of his picks, he's doing exceptionally well.

Hopefully for us, there won't be any versions of that 2012 draft.

For me, those Super bowl appearances shape my perspective of Baalke.

I am, however, soliciting the input of some 49ers fans.  I know they are less than enthused about his stay there.  I would like some details from them as to why that is.

It just worries me a bit that he has a bit of a history of making reaches.  For all of Caldwell's issues, he never really reached in the early rounds.  Even with Taven Bryan and even Blake Bortles, they were generally seen as 1st round picks.  Just worries me he has 'smartest man in the room' gene smith syndrome.  I mean most people even figured Luke Joeckel was going to be the pick.  Even if ultimately it wasn't a good pick.
