It’s not a lot fans that want Hutchinson. It’s the fact that he’s pretty much the consensus #1 pick this year.

If Trevor busts, should Baalke take the blame for that even though every single manager in the history of the NFL would have made that pick?

There isn't a consensus #1 pick this year. We really don't have a clue what teams boards look like.  If Trevor bust its definitely on Baalke and lot of of things as well just as Olinematters said.  If Baalke takes Hutch and he bust but the Lions takes Walker and he goes on to be a All Pro 12+ sack a year guy then that's not on Baalke?  Just like if we pass on Neal and he goes on to be a perennial All Pro and we never find our true LT for Trevor, that is on Baalke!  To say if Baalke takes Hutch and he's a bust that it's not on him is comical, he's the GM making the pick  Who is it on?
