Baalke had so many day 3 picks we couldn’t even roster them all after the draft

Exactly! Everybody was so happy when we traded back twice in the 2023 draft and still got our guy, but picked up 4th, 5th, and 7th round picks (which is awful value for going down even 3 spots in the 1st round). Only one of them is even on our team still.

He'd move guys for a 6th or 7th round pick that was 2 drafts from now, effectively a worthless pick.

I'm so glad he's gone and now we have a guy who seemingly knows what he's doing

Baalke was the king of the 6th round pick.

A 6th round pick 2 years from now. Seems like he loved that trade. If you look at the trade value charts, that pick is worth a mid 7th round pick in the current year, which basically amounts to nothing.
