The 49ers won the night they stopped Ward from sliding. Grade: C+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Ward, the 227th pick, roughly 221 picks past where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.
They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Deone Walker
In slot 11 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 43rd pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100
Rnd3
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
A tidy bit of business in No. 138, where Jacob Parrish graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147
Rnd5
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 5, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the 160th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cam Ward
Cam Ward at the 227th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
They barely believed it either: Joshua Gray still on the board at Round 7, Pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach pick 252 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
