The 49ers let Howard fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Will Howard fell into the 138th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 44th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They read the board right and Charles Grant was the payoff at No. 100. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Value said wait; Sai'vion Jones in slot 113 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Will Howard
Steal is underselling it; Will Howard at the 138th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on O'Donnell Fortune. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They went early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 149, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at the 160th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at Round 5, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. is a better player than pick 249 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
