49er4eva DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Barion Brown, 38 picks early at slot 171.
It is not that Jackson is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
A straight-up fair deal on A.J. Haulcy at Round 2, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
They reached a country mile for Keylan Rutledge at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses at pick No. 127 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in slot 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
A surprising call. With running back, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 138 on Domani Jackson, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick171
Rnd5
Barion Brown
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barion Brown well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
