FutureA-
The phones sank the 49ers this weekend: D. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Gore Jr. at No. 132 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Put together, it is a D.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Ford pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In slot 28 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 31 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in the 63rd pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132
Rnd4
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 132 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at the 214th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at the 215th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Donell Harris Jr.
They reached into another round for Donell Harris Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
