The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Golday tumbling to the 49ers in slot 95 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Young reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 43
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 45 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A.J. Haulcy in the 73rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 62
Taking Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Michael Trigg · TE · rank 117
A slide stopped in the 125th pick, with Michael Trigg worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Ja'Kobi Lane · WR · rank 102
Ja'Kobi Lane in pick 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 145
Dametrious Crownover at No. 133 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 131
Parker Brailsford at slot 138 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in pick No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 179
You do not let a cornerback like Domani Jackson reach No. 211 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
