FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B+. The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Luke Lachey, 58 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The Edwards steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in the 43rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 75 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Bond in the 89th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They let Charles Grant come to them and pounced at pick 100. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in Round 4, Pick 11, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa is a better player than slot 138 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Value said wait; Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166
Rnd5
Robert Longerbeam
They reached into another round for Robert Longerbeam, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
They paid sticker price for Tonka Hemingway in the 249th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at No. 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
