The Fairweather reach set a tone the 49ers could not shake: F. The 49ers torched the value chart for Rivaldo Fairweather, taking him 187 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It bottoms out at a F.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick 11 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A big swing on Maxwell Hairston at No. 43, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. slipping to pick No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Nothing to complain about; Savion Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 4, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 147 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Value said wait; Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 187 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 204 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at pick 226. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Rivaldo Fairweather
Rivaldo Fairweather at the 230th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
