FutureA
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. There is reaching, and then there is Thor Griffith at the 252nd overall pick. The 49ers jumped the board by 66 and dared it to prove them wrong.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 27th overall pick they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Circle this one: Jayden Higgins at the 75th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They jumped the gun on Jared Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Phillips at Round 3, Pick 36, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
A real head-scratcher, Sai'vion Jones in pick 113 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 138th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at pick 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in slot 249 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick252
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
