Asides DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

FutureA
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Luke Lachey a full 67 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Edwards. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in slot 43. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in the 113th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd4
Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at the 147th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
A conviction pick on Ajani Cornelius at pick 160 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach slot 227 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They let Carson Vinson come to them and pounced at the 236th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Warren Brinson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
A slide stopped in pick No. 252, with Jabbar Muhammad worth more than the price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
