FutureB-
A weekend the 49ers spent fighting the board, and losing. F. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Keilan Robinson in the 248th overall pick. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Corley a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 59, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 64 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
They reached a country mile for Troy Fautanu at pick 96, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 98th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 121 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mike Sainristil this early at pick No. 124. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127
Rnd4
Landon Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Landon Jackson in the 127th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A wild overpay on Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 4, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166
Rnd5
Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in slot 166. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177
Rnd6
Gabriel Murphy
Good price on Gabriel Murphy in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 205 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at the 213th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
A reach for Jalen Catalon in No. 215; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246
Rnd7
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 246 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick248
Rnd7
Keilan Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Keilan Robinson in pick 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
