FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B. The 49ers torched the value chart for Caden Curry, taking him 54 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The Caldwell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Good price on Gennings Dunker in pick 58, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Caden Curry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Caden Curry in slot 78, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the 127th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133
Rnd4
Isaiah World
They paid up for Isaiah World at the 133rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at Round 5, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in the 214th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at pick No. 249 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254
Rnd7
Miles Kitselman
They will replay Miles Kitselman at the 254th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
