That could get very interesting.

He cited his own history of trading back, but I think under the right circumstances, he could trade up.

I just saw a mock where the Chargers missed out on their RT in the first, so they traded back to 33, and the Jaguars wound up with Olave.

Depending upon what they gave up, I don't think I would have a problem with that.

Yeah, he certainly mentioned he'd prefer to trade back rather than up, but scenarios exist where they may need to move up to get their guy and they have the ammo to do so. 

Then later on, when talking about 33 in particular he implied there's a good chance the phone rings from other teams wanting to move up to that spot. 
He said they have their 2 or 3 guys they want at 33, but if those guys are gone, they could move out of the spot and gain picks. 

Note: I am paraphrasing and including a few specifics I believe he implied in these comments. Others may interpret Baalke differently.

I heard the same.   Baalke stated that his own history has been to trade down and acquire picks.  

Some interesting trades from last draft, near pick 33...

2021-
Denver got 2-35 and 6-219, and gave up 2-40 and 4-114
NE got 2-38, and gave up 2-46, 4-122, and 4-139
Chicago got 2-39 and 5-151, and gave up 2-52, 3-83, and 6-204

Thanks for that info. 
Good barometer on what we might expect if they do field calls for 33.
