FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the 49ers to a C+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Luke Lachey; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 56 spots ahead at pick 147. The final tally is a middling C+.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the 33rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 45 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jacob Parrish
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Parrish in slot 100, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
By-the-book stuff, Aeneas Peebles at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
They talked themselves into Luke Lachey at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at No. 160 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Hamilton well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson in Round 7, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A wild overpay on Jacory Croskey-Merritt in pick No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
