A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B+. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Woody Marks, the No. 193 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 11.
The Sanders pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The Caelen Carson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to slot 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in No. 75, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 76. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at pick 100, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 138th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
They reached a country mile for Ty Robinson at the 147th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in slot 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 171st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in slot 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick 227 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at No. 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
