FutureB+
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Sai'vion Jones. He came off 112 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Simon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.
The Caelen Carson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 12th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Mbow at No. 43, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 75th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker at pick No. 99 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
They reached into another round for Sai'vion Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd4
Hayden Conner
A conviction pick on Hayden Conner at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Value said wait; Jake Briningstool in the 185th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach the 226th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 230 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Mays this early at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
A wild overpay on Caden Prieskorn in slot 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
