Why draft a receiver? We don’t draft good receivers, never have… And again, Baalke, that dude is a wild card, he will fall in love with some linebacker and draft him at 1

No, you get the guy that can play number one receiver, he’s a very good player, hustling, moving, great route runner, gets open… oh, and actually can catch the damn ball…

We have good WRs on this team when everyone is healthy.  The poor oline and injuries is what hurt this team last year.  We can get a great player at 17 on a rookie deal.  Baalke doesn't need to over thank this and he has hit on all of his 1st round picks so far. This draft is deep at WR and we can draft a couple if we want and have them on rookie deals.  Need to learn how to draft good players after the 1st.

Yeah this is my confusion with some people on this board. They say Baalke sucks and will screw up the pick at 17 but also don't think we should trade pick 17 for a proven player and should stay put.

Baalke has hit on all his first round picks.  It's after the 1st is where he has problems
