The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 252 on Myles Hinton a full 64 spots early.
However the rest shakes out, Edwards at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In slot 15 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
They reached into another round for Kyle Kennard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 80th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaiah Bond reach pick No. 100 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at No. 113. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in pick No. 118. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in Round 4, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 160th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Value with a capital V on Robert Longerbeam in pick 227, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick249
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
Myles Hinton
Myles Hinton at the 252nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
