The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Nadame Tucker at pick No. 131 regardless, 41 picks early.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. Lew falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 11
They did well to land Makai Lemon in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 51. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
Nice patience on Jacob Rodriguez, who had no business lasting to the 82nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Treydan Stukes in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
Connor Lew slid further than he should have, and pick 97 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Julian Neal · CB · rank 118
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Julian Neal at cornerback with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
Jack Endries in the 127th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 172
Nadame Tucker in No. 131 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 132
Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 4, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Jakobe Thomas · S · rank 140
Jakobe Thomas in pick No. 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Jude Bowry · OT · rank 128
The board had Jude Bowry higher than the Round 4 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 171st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
