Grand theft in pick 227: the 49ers steal Ward and grade out a B. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Ward, the No. 6 name on the board, in pick No. 227. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 100th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 113th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Darien Porter
They will replay Darien Porter at Round 5, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick160
Rnd5
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cam Ward
Cam Ward at No. 227 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at pick No. 249. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach pick 252 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
