ModestWalrus DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers let Hunter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lee Hunter, the No. 58 name on the board, in the 92nd overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 58 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They robbed the room for Lee Hunter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at No. 127 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ Daniels in the 133rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst is a better player than slot 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
