FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Lane: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ja'Kobi Lane, the No. 67 name on the board, stolen at the 94th pick.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Overton left real value on the table behind him.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the 30th pick they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They paid sticker price for Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A slide stopped in pick No. 92, with Julian Neal worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Taking Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 94 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Jack Endries in Round 4, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
A conviction pick on Keylan Rutledge at No. 112 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
