FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B+. The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 241st pick on Thor Griffith a full 77 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
That Fannin Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick 23 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in slot 58, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in the 79th overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in the 100th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
They did well to land Jordan Phillips in slot 113, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
A tidy bit of business in the 117th overall pick, where Lathan Ransom graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in No. 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick 147 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A big swing on Que Robinson at pick No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 173rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in Round 7, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A quiet steal in No. 237: Jordan Hancock for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
