FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Collin Oliver went at No. 199, a good 124 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
Landing Horton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 62 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at No. 91. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Taking Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
The board fumbled Elijah Arroyo all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jack Bech
They will replay Jack Bech at slot 113 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 118 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 132 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. O'Donnell Fortune in the 138th pick leaves quarterback for later.
Pick140
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 140 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 147th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tory Horton
Tory Horton at Round 5, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Ethan Downs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ethan Downs. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199
Rnd6
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in No. 199 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206
Rnd6
Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in pick No. 206 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays at Round 7, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 236 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They robbed the room for Jamon Dumas-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
