The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: DJ Uiagalelei, 59 picks early at pick 249. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
In the end it comes back to Mykel Williams, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mykel Williams at slot 32. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in pick 75, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 32 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A reach for Cam Skattebo in No. 100; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 113th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
Nice patience on Dorian Strong, who had no business lasting to No. 138. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 147th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
They did well to land Luke Kandra in the 160th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They took Isaac TeSlaa at par in pick 227, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
DJ Uiagalelei
Value said wait; DJ Uiagalelei in slot 249 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
Nick Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Martin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
