Baalke would then have a trio of third round selections and then four additional picks in round six. Any GM worth his salt could package a combination of those up to get back into RD2 for another solid starter.

I would swap with Detroit. Let them have Hutchinson if they want him so bad and then I would pull the ultimate go [BLEEP] yourself move of the draft and take Jordan Davis out of Georgia instead. Since everybody is caught up on gawdy and flashy numbers. Jordan Davis for his size is a freak of nature. You watch any Georgia game last year and it ALL started with him. Forget Cine, Dean, Walker, Quay, etc.

It was Jordan's presence and consistent harassment in the backfield that enabled that entire defense all year. Put his big [BLEEP] inside or outside in a 3 - 4. I don't think it'll matter. Depending on the down and distance though he's going to be a handful for any offense. I would rather have Davis and possibly Ebiketie or Mafe at this point. As both of those DE's could be there in RD2.

Or we need a top 10 draft team to fall in love with whomever they think Detroit will pick at #2 if we stay at #1.  Maybe the Jets are thirsty for Thibs.  Maybe Seattle or Carolina love a qb.  We just need one team to get desperate to get ahead of Detroit.

And some of us watched and re-watched the game.  He wasn't being doubled.  He just didn't perform.

Would be ideal. I was able to pull a trade off within that same logic being applied. I swapped 1 and 107 I think for 2, 32 & 97 and then managed to swap 2 with Washington for 11, there RD2 pick and next year's 1st RD pick. While I think I was a little greedy with Detroit in swapping 1 for 2 for a high 4th RD Pick in addition to getting 32 and a 3rd RD pick there's still a good basis there. 

I wouldn't mind swapping 1 for 2 in exchange for picking up their 3rd RD pick, while, as you mentioned above, swap 2 around with a team QB hungry for even more value. It would set this [BLEEP] team up damn near perfectly. Puts you in position to take a damn good WR while adding more value to bolster some starting spots and improve your overall depth in a draft where the overall talent level is not nearly as separated as some of the past year's draft classes. 

You'll probably find really good quality players in RD3 this year.
