Grand theft in No. 251: the 49ers steal Brooks and grade out a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Tahj Brooks, the No. 199 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot.
Every board in the league had Vann lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick No. 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at No. 42. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in slot 97, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 4, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the 139th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Brown. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 160 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
Nothing to complain about; Thomas Fidone II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in the 226th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A wild overpay on Davin Vann in pick No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slid further than he should have, and pick 249 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
No drama and no debate, Zeek Biggers went about where he belonged in the 252nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
By-the-book stuff, Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 257 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
