FutureB
The 49ers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 61 spots for C.J. Hanson, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With interior defensive lineman and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They read the board right and T.J. Tampa was the payoff at slot 63. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 95th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98
Rnd3
Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 99th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman and quarterback untouched.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 130 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 132 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 160 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They talked themselves into Nathaniel Watson at the 176th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Nice patience on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, who had no business lasting to the 209th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at the 214th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 215 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trajan Jeffcoat. The roster fit checks out.
