Romega74 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent Round 2, Pick 26 on Jalen Farmer, a name the board had a full 48 spots lower.
However the rest shakes out, Lane at that price is a win they earned. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jalen Farmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Farmer this early at No. 58. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
They barely believed it either: Ja'Kobi Lane still on the board at the 127th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Julian Neal
Value with a capital V on Julian Neal in pick No. 133, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138
Rnd4
Joe Royer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Royer at pick 138. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Parker Brailsford in slot 139. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
