FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Patrick Payton, 57 picks early at the 171st pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. McNeil-Warren falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 28 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick58
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
The board had Gennings Dunker higher than the 66th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Fair-plus on Harold Perkins Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in pick 127, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Logan Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the 133rd pick with a little surplus value in Logan Jones. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kevin Coleman Jr.
They liked Kevin Coleman Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 138. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in Round 5, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
