A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kingsley Eguakun; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 88 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 36.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The 49ers indulged a want in Jones while a need in interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 63rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at pick No. 94 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jarrian Jones in slot 133 leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick176 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the 176th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kingsley Eguakun well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached into another round for Trajan Jeffcoat, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
