As i stated in the other thread ESPN are reporting that Baalke had a debatable grade on 127 players total... And again to put that into some kind of context we have pick #127 ... And another 8 after that. I acknowledge that some of those players may or may not have gone but unless we have some kind of plan for using those picks there seems a huge potential to waste a lot of draft capital which could have been used in earlier rounds. 

I'd not like to guess but we surely have picked up the phone to the cards to see if they'd be amenable to flipping a couple of picks for Budda Baker

Just because Balke/Pederson had only 127 draftable players doesn't mean those will be the first 127 players drafted or even the 127 players listed any anyone's mock draft. 

Once you start getting into the 4th round every teams' board starts to diverge drastically. Not as much as MLB draft boards. But they will be very very different.

Also for example, there was no reason for some players to be on the Jags board at all, like say the top 8 QB's. I'm sure there were a number of players already drafted who never sniffed the Jags the board.

You can tell how much Baalke and Pederson bring up the intangibles, character, and locker room presence with all 3 men drafted so far in the pressers. I can bet that any player who had a sniff of red flag was removed from their board.

Has any GM every hit on every draft pick in a single year?

I mean sure, hold Baalke to high expectations but make them reasonable.

Given the low hit rate from 4th round on, I'd prefer a double dip approach to a number of positions. Maybe he can get a small trade done, but given the reports on talent level of this years draft I doubt anyone is trading 2024 picks for 3rd day picks this year.
