FutureB-
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Kamran James in the 194th pick. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The 49ers indulged a want in Igbinosun while a need in running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They did well to land Emmanuel Pregnon in the 49th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. slipping to pick 92 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caden Curry. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at No. 107, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in pick 115 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Blake Miller
Value with a capital V on Blake Miller in the 127th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Davison Igbinosun with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick152
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They reached a country mile for Bud Clark at the 152nd pick, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick172
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at Round 5, Pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194
Rnd6
Kamran James
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kamran James well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Haynes King
Haynes King slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
