The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Keylan Rutledge at No. 58 is 48 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The Rivers value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Max Iheanachor
In the 27th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Keylan Rutledge
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keylan Rutledge well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 127 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Chris McClellan
No edge and no loss on Chris McClellan in Round 4, Pick 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in No. 139, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
