Grand theft in pick No. 185: the 49ers steal Skattebo and grade out a B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the 49ers in the 185th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
If Alexander pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 1 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
They paid a round early for Marcus Mbow in the 43rd pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 75th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A real head-scratcher, Darius Alexander in slot 99 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in No. 185, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
By-the-book stuff, Cody Lindenberg at Round 7, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in Round 7, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
They will replay Seth McLaughlin at the 249th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255
Rnd7
Robbie Ouzts
No edge and no loss on Robbie Ouzts in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
