FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B+. The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shaun Dolac at No. 252 regardless, 86 picks early. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
They banked enough surplus on Nash to cover a lot of smaller sins.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 12 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Omarr Norman-Lott
A premium they did not need to pay, Omarr Norman-Lott a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in No. 75, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Nice patience on Elic Ayomanor, who had no business lasting to pick 81. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 100 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 117th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander is a better player than slot 118 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138
Rnd4
Damien Martinez
A big swing on Damien Martinez at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West in pick 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 149, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Upton Stout
They reached into another round for Upton Stout, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nick Nash
They barely believed it either: Nick Nash still on the board at the 174th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Lachey at pick No. 227 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at No. 236 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Myles Hinton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Hinton well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at the 252nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
