FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick 176 is 53 spots clear of where he belonged.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With tight end and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In slot 31 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in Round 2, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in pick No. 94, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98
Rnd3
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 125th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
A surprising call. With tight end and linebacker still to address, they spent pick 132 on Jaylin Simpson, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick176
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 176th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value with a capital V on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 209, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at No. 214, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Elijah Jones
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Jones at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick230
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 230th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
