FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Daequan Hardy in the 176th overall pick, a good 100 spots before the room expected him. Put together, it is a D-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Phillips is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first.
The Allen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the Round 1 slot, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
By-the-book stuff, Bralen Trice at the 60th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 63 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andru Phillips
A want over a need in No. 94: Andru Phillips adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick124
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Daequan Hardy
Value said wait; Daequan Hardy in the 176th pick says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Evan Williams
Evan Williams at pick No. 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at No. 215. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Value with a capital V on Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 251, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
