The 49ers let Fairchild fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Dylan Fairchild, the No. 56 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 254 like a gift left on the doorstep.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 12 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at the 43rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach pick 75 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick100
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 100 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 137 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 186th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Kyle Kennard
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 226th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
The board fumbled Antwaun Powell-Ryland all the way to the 230th pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at No. 249 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254
Rnd7
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
