The 49ers robbed the room for Melton. Final grade: B. The curious call sets the tone. With running back, quarterback and other spots still glaring, the 49ers used pick 135 on Josh Newton, a cornerback they were not exactly short of.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Melton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
Fair-plus on Amarius Mims, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 63 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in the 94th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A tidy bit of business in the 124th overall pick, where Maason Smith graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Josh Newton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 135 on Josh Newton with running back, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick137
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
They did well to land Jamari Thrash in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in Malik Mustapha. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 193 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 211th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Julian Pearl at pick No. 215. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
