Tackle Ted DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The 49ers let Slaughter fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Slaughter, No. 54, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The Casey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Xavier Chaplin
A tidy little value on Xavier Chaplin in pick 87, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
By-the-book stuff, Monroe Freeling at the 122nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
The board had cheaper options than DeMonte Capehart at the 138th overall pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd4
Kage Casey
They talked themselves into Kage Casey at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in No. 140 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
