The 49ers let Kiner fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Corey Kiner got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 252nd overall pick.

Phillips has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 11th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Phillips. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to the 100th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Value with a capital V on Cam Skattebo in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 138: Emery Jones Jr. for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 5, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Steal is underselling it; O'Donnell Fortune at slot 160 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They barely believed it either: Craig Woodson still on the board at the 227th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Smith at slot 249 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick252 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Somehow Corey Kiner was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
