FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the 49ers to a D. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Joey Aguilar in the 247th overall pick. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The 49ers indulged a want in Igbinosun while a need in edge rusher stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bisontis.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 27 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick35
Rnd2
Chris Brazzell II
A clean, defensible pick in pick 35 with a little surplus value in Chris Brazzell II. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Taking Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 58 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at slot 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 95th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Michael Trigg in the 127th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick138
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A tidy little value on DeMonte Capehart in No. 138, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
They took CJ Daniels at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in Round 5, Pick 2 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Chris McClellan
Nice patience on Chris McClellan, who had no business lasting to the 147th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
They liked Pat Coogan enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 187. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaelon Black. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jimmy Rolder
Nothing to complain about; Jimmy Rolder went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
They paid sticker price for Eli Heidenreich in pick No. 223, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
They reached into another round for Joey Aguilar, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
