1. “Red shirt” players who underwent major surgery before the draft, usually to repair a torn ACL (Tank Carradine, Marcus Lattimore, Keith Reaser, Brandon Thomas, Trey Millard, and I’m probably forgetting others)
2. Guys with long arms
3. Converting guys from other sports into football players (Lawrence Okoye, Jarryd Hayne, Brock Lutes, Zach Noreen)
4. The idea of bringing in a guy from Bemidji State, his alma mater (Lutes, Noreen)
5. Slim-fitting jogging pants with Asics (Baalke is clearly an avid runner)
6. Pounding the nearest table or desk when the 49ers screw up and/or lose
7. Compensatory picks
8. Not caring one bit about a player’s off-the-field transgressions
10. Not using throat lozenges
