Matt DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Heldt: B-. Somebody in pick No. 92 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Will Heldt, the No. 66 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Wilson III lower, and that gap is the story.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Trey'Dez Green
A clean, defensible pick in pick 27 with a little surplus value in Trey'Dez Green. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Will Heldt
Somehow Will Heldt was still sitting there in the 92nd pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127
Rnd4
Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III at pick No. 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson at the 133rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
The board fumbled Whit Weeks all the way to Round 4, Pick 38, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker at No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
