With FA moves and draft, Baalke has done a pretty good job this offseason addressing areas of concern and shaking the roster up a bit.

Now it's up to the coaches and players to make it work.

Did we?  I think many wanted a guard/center.  When they drafted Foster, I wondered if the plan was to move him to guard.  However, in the after draft press conference, they indicated that he would be a swing tackle.  Even if he becomes an offensive tackle / guard, I don't see him playing center.  We're stuck with either Fortner or Shatley making the roster as our backup center and our starting center is a stop gap solution given his age.  Many saw that as a position of huge need.

We did draft our other needs IF we hit on our picks.  However, most were universally considered to be reaches.  Some were also taken later than what would seem to be ideal.  Many considered cornerback to be our biggest need and we waited until a comp pick in the third round.  Edge was also seen as a big need and we waited until the seventh round to draft one.  

It's not an awful draft, but not the greatest either.  Let's hope for the best.
