FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a B+, for the 49ers. The search is over. The 49ers handed the keys to Shedeur Sanders, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Brooks. The cost of the Turner reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The 49ers indulged a want in Amos while a need in edge rusher stayed open.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 2nd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick5
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Mason Graham at Round 1, Pick 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick7
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick 7 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In slot 11 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the 35th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at No. 72 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 75th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 76th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They reached into another round for Shemar Turner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Trey Amos
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Trey Amos adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
They barely believed it either: Dylan Fairchild still on the board at slot 112. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in No. 132 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to pick 178, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
The board had cheaper options than JJ Pegues at pick 179, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at No. 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
