I think if you're willing to fork over a future pick, sure, why not. Maybe give them the 96 pick in RD3 and next year's 2nd RD pick. That's about it. I am keeping the 17th pick, the 46th pick and those other picks in RD4 though.

I'm on the same page as you. I'd much rather have:

Rd. 1: Mitchell/Wiggins/Arnold

Rd. 2: Sweat/ Jenkins/Orhorhoro

Rd. 3: Pearsall/McMillan/Corley/Polk


Aiyuk is really good, but above is better.

Agreed. While Baalke has had a good looking free agency so far, there's just too many holes out there for me to feel comfortable, once again, with them forking over a high value draft pick on a WR. 

Aiyuk may or may not be the missing piece. BUT, we have too many missing pieces to be concerning ourselves or fixating ourselves on one player at the moment. 

I still think Baalke leans towards defense on the opening night of the draft, and, it'll either be a CB or an EDGE in my opinion. I think WR is something he'll entertain around RD3 personally, the way you have it outlined. 

Getting another CB and interior or exterior presence on that defensive line is crucial though, and, because it's been minimally touched up on in free agency and because of the overall value of those positions earlier on with the WR class being relatively deep, it just makes the most sense to go this route.
