I have already written in a previous post I do not care what he did in SF.  You can hold him accountable if you wish. My opinions are formed based on what I see here. My reasons for this is none of us really know how that organization was run. Different owners and coaches. How involved were the owners and coahes in those selections? Did that contribute to the issues that occurred there? How many were just him alone? What he has done here in the first round has been fine with me and a pretty significant improvement over our past GM's.  It is your prerogative to have a different opinion, I just do not share that opinion obviously.  By the way in case you have not heard everyone seems to be excited we now have Arik Armstead

Your post, to which I responded to, stated the following: "Baalke always hits on the first round picks.  Anyone that says different has not been paying attention or has another agenda."   Perhaps next time you should state, "with the exception of SF, Baalkie always hits ....."   even then I don't even know if that holds true considering Hutch is better than Walker ... but that's a topic for a different thread.

Of course we're happy to have Armstead.  Most teams are happy to get former 1st round picks without having to trade major draft capital ...
