The rest of the league had time to spare on Kevin Coleman Jr.; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 38 spots ahead at pick 127. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Kilgore value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Tyler Booker gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Eli Stowers in slot 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at No. 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Kilgore at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A big swing on Nadame Tucker at Round 4, Pick 38, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A wild overpay on Louis Moore in the 139th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
