The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Treydan Stukes, the No. 96 name on the board, in the 133rd pick.
The Curry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing A.J. Haulcy in the 58th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in No. 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
You do not let a cornerback like Treydan Stukes reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They paid sticker price for CJ Daniels in Round 4, Pick 38, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Isaiah World at pick 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 171, where Nate Boerkircher graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Matt Gulbin at slot 191 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Aaron Anderson at No. 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
