More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The 49ers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to offensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most.

They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in pick 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
