FutureB-
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Zuhn III at pick 180 is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
With wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at slot 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach No. 58 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71
Rnd3
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 71st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
The board had cheaper options than Whit Weeks at the 89th overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jyaire Hill
A reach on Jyaire Hill in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136
Rnd4
DJ Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Campbell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd4
DJ McKinney
They zigged when the board said zag, taking DJ McKinney at cornerback with wide receiver, running back and other spots open.
Pick141
Rnd4
Isaac Smith
Value said wait; Isaac Smith in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in the 152nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 196th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
