FutureA
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the D. The war room fell hard for Landon Jackson, and it showed at the 138th pick: 90 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board.
Clark at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
A reasonable price with a little left over, Taliese Fuaga in slot 30. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 84 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 98 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101
Rnd4
James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick127
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a defensive back and leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick No. 138 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
No edge and no loss on Raheim Sanders in No. 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205
Rnd6
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 205th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
Taking De'Corian Clark in pick 215 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
