FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 221.
They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 13th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at the 43rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
They reached a country mile for Ajani Cornelius at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at slot 112 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach pick No. 137 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in No. 186, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221
Rnd7
Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 221st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Brennan Presley
A real head-scratcher, Brennan Presley in pick 230 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in the 249th overall pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
