FutureB-
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The 49ers bet big and early on Xavier Truss, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They banked enough surplus on Edwards to cover a lot of smaller sins. The veteran additions, Keisean Nixon chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 33rd overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
The board had Jonah Savaiinaea higher than slot 57, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
They read the board right and Jalen Royals was the payoff at pick 75. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 100th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A quiet steal in slot 124: Jordan Phillips for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 138th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 9 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
A tidy bit of business in the 159th pick, where Pat Bryant graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A premium they did not need to pay, Willie Lampkin a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 163 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in pick 179, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They barely believed it either: Donovan Edwards still on the board at pick No. 227. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at pick 230 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Davin Vann
A big swing on Davin Vann at the 239th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick252
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the 252nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
