The 49ers land in the muddy middle: C+. The 49ers torched the value chart for Jordan Travis, taking him 40 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Brownlee Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A big swing on Sedrick Van Pran at the 39th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in Round 3, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick No. 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at pick 176. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They jumped the gun on Gabe Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 215 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd6
KT Leveston
KT Leveston in slot 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
