Nobody had Darrell Jackson Jr. this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 44 spots to get him at pick No. 58. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hecht. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 45
A wild overpay on Blake Miller in No. 27, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 102
A real head-scratcher, Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 58 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 88
Circle this one: Sam Hecht at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Genesis Smith · S · rank 101
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Genesis Smith in the 133rd pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Max Llewellyn · DE-EDGE · rank 153
A reach on Max Llewellyn in Round 4, Pick 38; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Eli Raridon · TE · rank 135
Fair-plus on Eli Raridon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
