FutureB
Sampson should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a A-. Call it larceny. Dylan Sampson sat on the board until slot 138, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Josh Simmons and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In slot 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach pick No. 43 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in No. 99 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at Round 4, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in the 139th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
