Lets take a look...

2022
Traded up to get Snoop in the 5th, he's a bum.
CB Gregory Junior in the 6th, hasn't did anything and most likely gone.
CB Montaric Brown in the 7th, hasn't did anything and most likely gone.

2021
DT Jay Tufele in the 4th. Hasn't did anything and wasn't even on the team this past season.
OLB Jordan Smith in the 4th. Hasn't didn't anything, is he even on the roster still?
TE Luke Farrell in the 5th. Hasn't did much of anything. Some Special Teams here and there.
WR Jalen Camp in the 6th. Hasn't did anything. Wasn't even on the team the past two seasons.

These are the most recent, but you can go back and look at Baalke's drafts with the 49ers. All trash especially after round 3. I don't know why people suddenly expect anything different.

But hey, maybe the Sun wont rise today and that'll be different.

So you are saying Baalke is not a good drafter, therefore most of these picks are bad picks and won't make the team.  

My theory is, since we have a mega-contract coming up for Trevor, we have to let go of some veteran backups, especially since a lot of those veteran backups are on short term contracts, and rookies are cheaper.  Add to that the fact that most GMs think they made good picks, and most GMs think all their picks have potential, they will be inclined to take a chance on a rookie over a veteran backup.  

The question wasn't did we make good picks.  The question was how many will make the team.
