FutureD
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 100th overall pick, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
That Monangai pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 23rd overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Omarr Norman-Lott
They talked themselves into Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 43, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
Kyle Kennard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Kennard well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maxwell Hairston. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to the 82nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in slot 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 103 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They paid a round early for Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They paid up for Jake Majors at pick No. 117 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 4, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A slide stopped in the 137th pick, with Cody Simon worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Nothing to complain about; Brashard Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
No drama and no debate, O'Donnell Fortune went about where he belonged in No. 147. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick160
Rnd5
CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in Round 5, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 181 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They jumped the gun on Carson Vinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
A clean, defensible pick in the 223rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Craig Woodson. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Kyle Monangai for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
