Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalin Conyers at pick 252 regardless, 130 picks early.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harmon. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 11 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to the 43rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Fair-plus on Elic Ayomanor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 100 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 113th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Slater at pick No. 138, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 147 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They talked themselves into Vernon Broughton at pick No. 160, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 11 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid sticker price for Teddye Buchanan in the 249th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalin Conyers this early at slot 252. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
