The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Bryce Lance fell into pick No. 133.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Gennings Dunker in Round 2, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They read the board right and Brian Parker II was the payoff at pick 127. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They barely believed it either: Bryce Lance still on the board at pick No. 133. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 138. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Value with a capital V on Will Lee III in the 139th pick, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
