The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B. The real work happened on the phones. The 49ers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
If Payton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Fair-plus on Gennings Dunker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They let Jake Slaughter come to them and pounced at pick No. 63. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Genesis Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Genesis Smith in the 92nd pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss slid further than he should have, and the 125th overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hezekiah Masses. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133
Rnd4
Sam Roush
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Roush well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
By-the-book stuff, Max Iheanachor at Round 4, Pick 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They paid up for Trey Zuhn III at pick 189 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 200th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
