Under Baalke, the Niners had a 51-44 regular season record and five postseason wins; the Jags had a 25-43 record and one playoff win. Baalke controversially selected Travon Walker first overall in 2022 over Aidan Hutchinson. Of the nine Day 2 prospects he picked in Jacksonville, only Walker Little, Brenton Strange, and Jarrian Jones remain on today’s roster. The only Baalke-drafted Jaguars who went on to earn a Pro Bowl nod are former first-rounders Trevor Lawrence, Devin Lloyd, and Brian Thomas Jr.

Jared Mueller of Dawgs By Nature noted that current Browns general manager Andrew Berry has a history of bringing in failed executives as consultants. Baalke now joins a list that includes names like Bob Quinn, Tom Telesco, and Ryan Grigson. I suppose it does make sense to learn from others’ mistakes, but it feels like the Browns are just clogging their toilet with more poo poo.

As plenty have already joked online, Berry’s clock has begun. Could he be the latest executive to be usurped by the weaseling Baalke? How long will it take Baalke to secure a full-time position in Cleveland? Does Baalke already have a strong chance of becoming the Browns’ next general manager?
