Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Laloulu: 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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Laloulu. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They will answer for taking safety early while running back and quarterback went begging. The 49ers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Ryan Wingo
Ryan Wingo at pick 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Will Heldt
Will Heldt in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Raylen Wilson
A reach on Raylen Wilson in the 70th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Circle this one: Bear Alexander at No. 99 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Earl Little Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Earl Little Jr.. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kade Pieper reach pick No. 107 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at Round 4, Pick 27 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
A surprising call. With running back and quarterback still to address, they spent the 133rd overall pick on Adon Shuler, a safety they were not short of.
Pick138
Rnd4
Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen at slot 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Luke Reynolds
Luke Reynolds at pick 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mateen Ibirogba in the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They let Jermaine Mathews Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 171. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174
Rnd5
Coen Echols
They read the board right and Coen Echols was the payoff at the 174th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175
Rnd5
Dezz Ricks
Dezz Ricks slipping to No. 175 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick178
Rnd5
Niki Prongos
They went early on Niki Prongos in Round 5, Pick 40, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212
Rnd6
Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
