The 49ers let Sanders fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. Call it larceny. T.J. Sanders sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 39, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Ed Ingram gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In the end it comes back to Abdul Carter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at No. 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 43rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at Round 3, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd5
Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185
Rnd6
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 185th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226
Rnd7
Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 226 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Somehow Lander Barton was still sitting there in pick No. 230, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249
Rnd7
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
