I don't put it 100% on the FO and staff they couldn't find a partner, but it is a failure at the end of the day. 

Baalke has now used a first, a third, a fifth and two sixths in three drafts at RB for a pass first team. 
That third rounder with ball security issues does need to pay off.
We had greater needs.

Baalke has a RB fetish. He has drafted one every year he has been a GM.

I don’t know if that’s necessarily a bad thing. The shelflife of running backs is so short compared to other offensive weapons. And to listen to so many valuators, talk about the quality of the one he drafted, you have to believe this is a starting quality running back that can really be effective for us behind and alongside ETN. So I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to get a running back every year.

I also think you should always be churning your number three spot in the quarterback room. You should always have a jar on the shelf that you were developing. Obviously, we have one of the best quarterbacks in the league who is only going to get better. But what if he gets injured? you want to have competent back ups behind him. And you want to develop future trade capital with developmental quarterbacks.

Possibly, but nothing wrong with having two good TEs of he does stay long term.

Yes. And strange is a more traditional tight end with Engram being a move, receiving tight end. I like it.

These additions

Ridley

Year 2 in the system

Should add up to a high scoring offense

Only downside is that it may HAVE to be in order to win big games after neglecting glaring holes defensively

To me the biggest gamble of this draft was not getting a high quality CB. Maybe one of these late round picks can beat out Herndon. Lord knows he ain’t nothing special.
