Deal in place for the 4th pick?

Geoffry Arnold isnt a troll writer, so I tend to believe it. I'm assuming it's contingent on one of the QBs being there because it said for Wentz

No. Arnold is a solid writer. That's not where he got that

The 49ers will make a trade with the Dallas Cowboys and move up to the fourth overall position and select North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz, according to a report.

The report they are citing is that mock draft.

It depends. In 2010, he traded up a few spots to grab Anthony Davis. Then in 2013, he traded up from 31 to 18 to grab Eric Reid.

He'll trade up if A) that player is an instant plug-and-play starter and B) it fills a big need

Obviously the compensation required to trade up significantly higher when dealing in the Top 10, and when dealing to select a QB. If Baalke actually made a trade like this, it'd be the most aggressive trade up he's made.

If the 49ers traded up that high for Wentz it would make no sense unless they are certain someone would jump in front of them.

...or if they want him bad enough to make sure they don't miss out. Don't know if I'd do that for Wentz. I'm not convinced that he's displayed sufficient evidence that he plays/reads fast enough to get the ball out on time and to the right guy in Kelly's offense.
