Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The 49ers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Reaching for Moore left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.
The 49ers paired the rookies with proven help, Quenton Nelson leading the way. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
Derrick Moore in slot 47 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A straight-up fair deal on Zachariah Branch at the 58th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Julian Neal at pick No. 127 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
No edge and no loss on Jakobe Thomas in pick 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They went early on Kaytron Allen in Round 4, Pick 38, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
