FutureB-
Grand theft in the 112th overall pick: the 49ers steal Norman-Lott and grade out a D+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Oronde Gadsden II in pick 148, a good 35 spots before the room expected him.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Norman-Lott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value.
Pick43
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in slot 43, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 75th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Good price on Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 112th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at slot 125 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 127th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at pick 139 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 5, Pick 1 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 148, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in No. 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
Nothing to complain about; JJ Pegues went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Roc Taylor in the 228th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
