Emmanwori should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 65. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 54 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
No drama and no debate, Jack Sawyer went about where he belonged in pick 59. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 64th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 65th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 3, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
The board had Dylan Sampson higher than slot 75, and the running back fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the 82nd overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in slot 87 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 96th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at No. 102 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Somehow Jalen Royals was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They did well to land Jordan Phillips in pick No. 113, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 120 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
A tidy little value on Terrance Ferguson in the 121st pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Good price on Miles Frazier in slot 122, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
They barely believed it either: Zy Alexander still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 134th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at No. 136 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 137 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Slater went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Kiser in pick 189. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 198 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A quiet steal in the 208th overall pick: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
A tidy bit of business in slot 223, where Joshua Gray graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the 230th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick235
Rnd7
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in No. 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
