FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B-. The Joshua Simon pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 70 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Pierce to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 14th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the 75th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 89, with Chris Paul Jr. worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 100, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 7. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in slot 113 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
They took Jeffrey Bassa at par in pick 117, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 138th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at the 148th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hollin Pierce at No. 151 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in No. 160 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 189 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Value said wait; Carson Vinson in pick No. 206 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
A wild overpay on Joshua Simon in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in the 233rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
