FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. 49ers: C-. The 49ers bet big and early on Mitchell Melton, 380 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a C- and check back in two years.
The Ponds pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Mitchell Melton
In pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection.
Pick58
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Gennings Dunker in the 58th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92
Rnd3
Mikail Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mikail Kamara in Round 3, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
Taking D'Angelo Ponds in slot 133 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
