The 49ers won the night they stopped Martinez from sliding. Grade: B-. Somebody in slot 196 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Damien Martinez, the No. 148 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in No. 33, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
By-the-book stuff, Barrett Carter at pick 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in pick No. 101, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of the 134th pick. Quarterback needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to slot 138, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
They read the board right and Mello Dotson was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 9. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Nothing to complain about; Pat Bryant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 160 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at No. 226 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
They jumped the gun on Ty Hamilton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
CJ West
Value with a capital V on CJ West in the 230th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Clay Webb
No edge and no loss on Clay Webb in No. 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
A big swing on Xavier Truss at pick 252, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
