FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B. The 49ers bet big and early on Malachi Lawrence, 45 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Blake Fisher gives the group a proven body among the projects.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In No. 27 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Germie Bernard in Round 2, Pick 27. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at pick 92 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
A reach on Max Iheanachor in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the 133rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
A premium they did not need to pay, Ted Hurst a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
