When a board-topper like Germie Bernard slides to pick 127, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Harris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
A conviction pick on Dillon Thieneman at the Round 1 slot that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Caleb Tiernan in Round 2, Pick 26 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Germie Bernard at pick 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They will replay Davison Igbinosun at the 133rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Zxavian Harris in pick No. 138 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Fair-plus on Eli Raridon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
