Where he was drafted or not drafted is irrelevant at this point.  Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round.  Does that mean it would have been smart to trade him in his prime for a 5th rounder?  That's ridiculous.  

If you think Baalke can find better with a 5th rounder, I'll refer you to my previous post about his track record.  The late rounds are garbage picks.  If you find a decent backup, you've done your job.  I think JRob is a quality starting caliber running back, but even as a backup, he would be worth far more to us than that garbage pick we got in exchange who may not even make the team.
