FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story. The 49ers did not so much draft Luke Kandra as overpay for him, 31 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Sampson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
So much rides on Jahdae Barron that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
By-the-book stuff, Josh Simmons at the 11th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick17
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 41st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
No drama and no debate, Kyle Kennard went about where he belonged in No. 75. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A big swing on Charles Grant at slot 76, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 85th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at slot 89. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Value with a capital V on Savion Williams in Round 4, Pick 12, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
They paid sticker price for Jeffrey Bassa in pick 131, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 138th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Terrance Ferguson at No. 139. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in pick No. 189, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
