For all the boxes ticked, the 49ers skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Fitzgerald at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 27 they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
They took Derrick Moore at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Parker Brailsford. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Bishop Fitzgerald at Round 4, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Hezekiah Masses at the 138th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They paid sticker price for Isaiah World in No. 139, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
