The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The 49ers never got to the one that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They banked enough surplus on Stribling to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Bisontis lower, and that gap is the story. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 27th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
De'Zhaun Stribling
They read the board right and De'Zhaun Stribling was the payoff at slot 127. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jack Endries
A tidy bit of business in pick 133, where Jack Endries graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kaleb Proctor
A clean, defensible pick in the 138th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kaleb Proctor. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
A quiet steal in pick No. 139: Parker Brailsford for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
