FutureD+
The 49ers let Fitzgerald fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Ryan Fitzgerald tumbling to the 49ers in slot 232 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They are betting Shough proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Castro pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in the 25th pick, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
The board fumbled Alfred Collins all the way to pick 75, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Joshua Farmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Farmer well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Shough this early at Round 4, Pick 11. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in pick 118, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 26 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 138th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sebastian Castro at safety with edge rusher open.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tai Felton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tai Felton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick No. 167, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 172nd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 173 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in Round 5, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255
Rnd7
James Burnip
James Burnip in the 255th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
