Let's put aside Baalke for the moment.  What are the odds for any GM?  I was curious and looked at last year's draft.  Below were the results for the top three rounds:  

First Round:  Four wide receivers were drafted.  Their receiving yards ranged from 431 to 911 with an average of 707 yards.

Second Round:  Four wide receivers were drafted.  Their receiving yards ranged from 377 to 938 with an average of 632 yards.

Third Round:  Six wide receivers were drafted.  Their receiving yards ranged from 224 to 771 with an average of 496 yards.

There were more receivers in the top three rounds with less than 400 yards than there were with over 800 yards.  None had over 1000 yards.  None had more than Ridley's 1016 yards.  To be fair, if you expanded it to the entire draft, strangely there was one player in the fifth round with more yards than Ridley.  However, that's just 1 out of 33 wide receivers drafted.  I like the idea of sticking with Ridley.
