FutureB-
The 49ers let Higgins fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Jay Higgins, the No. 121 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 185.
They will need Caldwell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 75th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 19, where Omarr Norman-Lott graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 84 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They talked themselves into Jordan Burch at slot 86, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slid further than he should have, and pick No. 99 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Azareye'h Thomas at the 111th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick113
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 4, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 137th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in the 226th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
A quiet steal in pick No. 230: Jonah Monheim for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at pick 249. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
Value said wait; Jamaree Caldwell in slot 255 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
