I do think Baalke is good in free agency. The problem is that he is the opposite when it comes to drafting. He doesn't understand value, gets too infatuated with traits sometimes and loves drafting positions that are outdated.

Someone relay this memo to Shad. I don't have his number...

• Trent can handle free agency ("pro personnel director") -- he can keep his salary and corner window office.  
  
• Bring back Dave Caldwell to handle rounds 2-7 of the darft ("scouting director"). 
  
• To save money in paying two co-GMs, the fan board here can create a consensus value board to follow in round 1. All round 1 trades up or down must be approved by our appointed representative who will sit in a large seat at the darft-day war room table. A couple darfts ago, the fans here would've darfted Wirfs and Jefferson. We also would've darfted Hutchinson over Walker. As a whole we're going to get it right more often than Caldwell and Baalke. We just can't afford to quit our day jobs to handle scouting the lower rounds. 
   
  

I'd love to try this experiment.  Make it your or someones goal to come to a consensus on one player to draft.  Rule is it has to be someone who is available at 17 and then another at 31 next year.

I think fans think it's easy because almost every name gets thrown around.  So afterwards someone is crowing how good they did.

Someone needs to lead to a consensus top 17 players and the board gets the highest player from that list as their pick that is available where we draft.  And then see year over year how it turns out.
