The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Thor Griffith selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 67 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The TeSlaa pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The 49ers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid up for Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 43 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in pick 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
The board had cheaper options than Nohl Williams at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They liked Luke Kandra enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 138. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 147th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 22 with a little surplus value in Bhayshul Tuten. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
A wild overpay on Jay Higgins in No. 166, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in pick 227 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slipping to pick No. 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 249th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 36 says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
