FutureA
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Robert Longerbeam in slot 166, a good 53 spots before the room expected him. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Bowman Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Fair-plus on Omarr Norman-Lott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the 100th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 119th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 138 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They talked themselves into Elijah Roberts at the 157th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
They went early on Ajani Cornelius in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Robert Longerbeam
They reached into another round for Robert Longerbeam, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick No. 227 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
A wild overpay on Tonka Hemingway in slot 235, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Simon well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson in Round 7, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
