FutureB
The 49ers let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until No. 88, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Every board in the league had Kandra lower, and that gap is the story.
The 49ers paired the rookies with proven help, Keisean Nixon leading the way.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They did well to land Wyatt Milum in pick No. 42, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Josaiah Stewart at the 49th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They read the board right and Trey Amos was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
A tidy bit of business in No. 75, where Bradyn Swinson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 76. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at slot 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 88th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
You do not let a wide receiver like Jayden Higgins reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Fair-plus on Jordan Burch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
A reasonable price with a little left over, Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 32. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 100 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 102nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 105 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in pick 109, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick113
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
Circle this one: Quinn Ewers at pick No. 116 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 117 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at slot 118, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 124th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick No. 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They talked themselves into Luke Kandra at slot 128, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 36. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to the 238th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
