BUT

If we do next to nothing in free agency, then yeah first 4 rounds should be OL lol.

I don't think we can roll out a rookie center next year, we need an established guy with a draft pick to groom. I really like Jon Feliciano from the 49rs, he's the right age and played really good ball this season. Draft should have at least 1 tackle, 2 guards, and 2 DTs along with a WR, Edge, and safety IMO. We need to stock those bodies on the cheap for next offseason.

This is where Baalke earns his paycheck. Some of these needs you listed above should technically be on the roster already based on some of his decisions he made in last year's draft. 

Abdullah & Lacy along the defensive line. 
Hallett & Johnson along the secondary at safety. 
Washington at receiver along with Cooks who went undrafted. 

I am in agreement though with getting starters earlier in March for the offensive line. Especially at Center. I have us going after mostly offensive lineman, defensive lineman and receivers in tandems via the draft. I know they won't hit on all of those choices I made but if you double down you tend to at least double your odds in having success at that position. 

RB, TE & LB should be off the board completely in my opinion. Unless you think you're staring at the next Barry Sanders, Rob Gronkowski or Ray Lewis, it shouldn't be on our radar. And, if Baalke drafts ANYBODY at these positions, if the first thing that doesn't come out of his mouth answer wise that says "We really think this guy is the next hall of fame player at this position". 

He needs to be clowned by the media and fans all the way back to the carnival of hell where he came from.
