FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers. The 49ers bet big and early on Frank Gore Jr., 99 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick63
Rnd2
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 63 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd3
Javon Foster
A big swing on Javon Foster at pick 98, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in Round 4, Pick 21, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Frank Gore Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Gore Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at the 132nd pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd6
Joshua Cephus
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Cephus in No. 176 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 209th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the 215th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 249, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
