My opinion is there are teams looking to hire their GMs currently so the draft argument holds little water in my opinion. Sure I'm sure he's done some work, but it's not just him the scouts have as well any new GM would get the same info from the scouts. I understand people's opinions of shad, but assuming he will be let go after the draft what logical reason am I missing?

What? That would possibly be the dumbest move in the history of the franchise, even worse than hiring Meyer. Why let Baalke screw up our draft and then fire him? That makes absolutely no sense at all. It would almost be as bad as keeping him. What good GM is gonna want to come here after the draft, when some other loser has put his draft picks on the team. I sure as hell wouldn't! Your basically stuck with those players whether you like them or not. 

I'm convinced Dave Caldwell knew he was basically out the door when he selected C.J. Henderson and K'Lavon Chaisson, so he intentionally tanked that draft as a middle finger to the team. Neither one of those picks ever made any sense to me. If we let Baalke stay only to get us through the draft and then fire him afterwards, what is to keep him from doing the same?
