FutureA+
The jury is out on the 49ers. For now, C+. The David Walker selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 97 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.
Getting Monangai where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in Round 2, Pick 26, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker at No. 75 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter slid further than he should have, and the 89th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Terrance Ferguson this early at the 101st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at pick 127, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brashard Smith in Round 4, Pick 29. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
Value said wait; Ty Robinson in No. 139 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
They liked Jack Kiser enough to skip the value, taking him in the 189th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Taking Kyle Monangai in slot 246 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255
Rnd7
J.C. Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.C. Davis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
