The 49ers answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: B-. Start where it matters. The 49ers took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hadden. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Every board in the league had Holker lower, and that gap is the story. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 31st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at No. 94 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
The board had cheaper options than Roger Rosengarten at the 124th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 31: Elijah Jones for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in slot 133 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in pick No. 176. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 215, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They did well to land Jalen Sundell in the 251st pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
