Grand theft in the 55th pick: the 49ers steal Franklin and grade out a D-. The 49ers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.
The 49ers indulged a want in Brade while a need in quarterback and linebacker stayed open. The Orhorhoro pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Franklin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In No. 31 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They talked themselves into Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 17, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in pick 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky Pearsall reach Round 3, Pick 13 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They paid up for Theo Johnson at pick No. 115 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the 119th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Will Shipley
The board had Will Shipley higher than the 121st overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Beau Brade
A surprising call. With quarterback and linebacker still to address, they spent slot 136 on Beau Brade, a safety they were not short of.
