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

The war room fell hard for C.J. Fite, and it showed at Round 3, Pick 21: 23 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Lance pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carnell Tate in the 23rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slipping to slot 54 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 C.J. Fite
They talked themselves into C.J. Fite at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
By-the-book stuff, Monroe Freeling at pick 123 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
No edge and no loss on Parker Brailsford in the 135th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A reach for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 139; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance is a better player than the 140th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
