FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent the 138th pick on Nadame Tucker, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower.
Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 30th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
A quiet steal in pick No. 66: Lee Hunter for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 94, with Omar Cooper Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
They paid up for Jaeden Roberts at the 101st overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at slot 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 127th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
They reached into another round for Nadame Tucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at pick 177 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick221
Rnd7
Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the 221st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
