Grand theft in slot 91: the 49ers steal Lee III and grade out a B. Somebody in Round 3, Pick 27 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Will Lee III, the No. 70 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Zuhn III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Will Lee III
Will Lee III at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Nothing to complain about; Zachariah Branch went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 126th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
A slide stopped in No. 130, with Monroe Freeling worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134
Rnd4
Blake Miller
They took Blake Miller at par in pick 134, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140
Rnd4
Tao Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tao Johnson at pick No. 140 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
No edge and no loss on Aaron Graves in pick No. 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Zuhn III a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
No drama and no debate, Bear Alexander went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 37. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
