The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The 49ers walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.
They are betting Gulbin proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In No. 31 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick35
Rnd2
Joshua Josephs
They jumped the gun on Joshua Josephs, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid sticker price for De'Zhaun Stribling in the 95th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in the 127th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in Round 4, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at pick 139 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at slot 182 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
