Italia1970 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the 49ers this weekend: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Sai'vion Jones at the 101st pick is 41 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
That McCord pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In slot 24 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 33rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at No. 40. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in pick 55. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Jonah Savaiinaea for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Fair-plus on Omarr Norman-Lott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 100th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Value with a capital V on Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 38, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 109 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tai Felton at pick 113 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Belton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slipping to No. 120 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jordan James
The board had Jordan James higher than Round 4, Pick 26, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick No. 129 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 130th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kobe King
A tidy little value on Kobe King in the 132nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at slot 134 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
They took Hollin Pierce at par in pick 136, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
The board had cheaper options than Luke Kandra at No. 138, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at slot 147 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They went early on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at pick No. 256 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
