FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Howard: B+. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The 49ers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
Howard at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They are betting Wilson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in slot 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Value with a capital V on Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They did well to land Aireontae Ersery in No. 50, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Good price on Trey Amos in the 54th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
They paid a round early for Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
A tidy little value on Jaylin Noel in pick 65, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in pick 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slipping to Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 82 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 87 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in pick No. 100, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They read the board right and Savion Williams was the payoff at the 102nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109
Rnd4
Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 109th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 11. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in slot 119 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick121
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 121 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 125th pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 128 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kobe King
No drama and no debate, Kobe King went about where he belonged in pick 129. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130
Rnd4
Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at the 130th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jake Majors
By-the-book stuff, Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 133. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They went early on Jackson Slater in slot 134, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They jumped the gun on Luke Kandra, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
They will replay Pat Bryant at pick 172 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: R.J. Mickens for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah is a better player than No. 235 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
