FutureB-
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The 49ers bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
They banked enough surplus on Hunter to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Adding Tyler Guyton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In pick 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
No drama and no debate, JT Tuimoloau went about where he belonged in slot 43. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Fair-plus on Omarr Norman-Lott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A wild overpay on Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Connor Colby
Connor Colby at No. 138 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson slipping to pick 147 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to the 160th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167
Rnd5
CJ West
They paid up for CJ West at pick No. 167 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the 249th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
