The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Fitzgerald: B+. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, in pick No. 255.
A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In pick 14 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at slot 43 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 75 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in the 111th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the 137th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185
Rnd6
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in the 187th pick, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick226
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in Round 7, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They will replay Lander Barton at pick 230 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Karene Reid
You do not let a linebacker like Karene Reid reach slot 249 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
