FutureB-
The phones sank the 49ers this weekend: C. The J. Michael Sturdivant selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 65 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Scott. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Hit on Olaivavega Ioane and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in pick 92, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 133rd overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Isaiah World
No edge and no loss on Isaiah World in pick No. 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 214th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
