The 49ers let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 146 name on the board, in pick 255. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 75th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Somehow Omarr Norman-Lott was still sitting there in pick 99, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at No. 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in the 185th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 226 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at pick 230, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at pick No. 255. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
