mmm DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The 49ers bet big and early on Aaron Graves, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Wheatley pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In pick No. 27 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Kobi Lane a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zakee Wheatley at the 92nd pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127
Rnd4
Aaron Graves
They reached a country mile for Aaron Graves at the 127th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick 133 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 171 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
