FutureB-
Larceny in slot 249 lands the 49ers a B+, Edwards and all. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Edwards got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at No. 249.
They will need Pegues to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
A quiet steal in slot 33: Walter Nolen for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 43rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than Round 3, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeffrey Bassa a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Nice patience on Emery Jones Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 138. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 160th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Somehow O'Donnell Fortune was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 227th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A running back of that caliber at No. 249 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They jumped the gun on Hayden Conner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
