The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Jones Jr.: A-. The 49ers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones Jr..
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in slot 44, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 45 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in the 59th pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson is a better player than Round 3, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A conviction pick on Charles Grant at the 82nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 11 with a little surplus value in Xavier Restrepo. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at slot 160, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 171st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They jumped the gun on Vernon Broughton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A quiet steal in pick 211: Oronde Gadsden II for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
