Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Gould: F. The Matthew Jones selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 44 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A F, plain and simple.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Gould pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. It is not that Newton is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 31st overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 63rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124
Rnd4
Nehemiah Pritchett
A reach on Nehemiah Pritchett in No. 124; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131
Rnd4
Josh Newton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 31 on Josh Newton with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jarrian Jones in pick No. 133 leaves running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 172nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in pick 210, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
The board fumbled Walter Rouse all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
They barely believed it either: Anthony Gould still on the board at No. 215. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232
Rnd7
Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at the 232nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Khalid Duke
They reached a country mile for Khalid Duke at slot 238, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at the 251st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
