Winston Jr. should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 97 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 165th overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Oladejo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in pick No. 45, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at the 61st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in slot 64 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in pick 65, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 75th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
They read the board right and Elijah Arroyo was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 23. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 89 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in pick 95, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in No. 96, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
A reach on Jordan Phillips in Round 3, Pick 36; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in the 102nd pick with a little surplus value in Zy Alexander. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick103
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at slot 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107
Rnd4
David Walker
They took David Walker at par in the 107th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinn Ewers at pick 109. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Skattebo at the 110th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton in No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in the 112th overall pick, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brashard Smith in slot 113, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
LeQuint Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take LeQuint Allen this early at Round 4, Pick 15. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick No. 124 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Emery Jones Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
A conviction pick on Aeneas Peebles at Round 4, Pick 28 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
They let Nohl Williams come to them and pounced at the 138th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 161st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
They did well to land Tommi Hill in No. 164, just ahead of his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
A tidy bit of business in No. 210, where Tahj Brooks graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Nice patience on Kyle Monangai, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in the 236th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Value with a capital V on Carson Vinson in pick 239, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
