The 49ers let Hill Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The 49ers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The Lee III pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, running back and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Hill Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 26
Monroe Freeling in pick No. 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
Circle this one: Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
A slide stopped in No. 62, with A.J. Haulcy worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
Eli Stowers slipping to the 67th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than the 108th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 114
Value with a capital V on Keylan Rutledge in pick 127, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 130
A tidy little value on Parker Brailsford in pick 133, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 124
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 138 on Will Lee III with wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Chris McClellan · DT · rank 142
They took Chris McClellan at par in Round 4, Pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
