The trade table was a mismatch, and the 49ers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Coleman Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 27 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all.
Good price on Bishop Fitzgerald in the 127th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Justin Joly slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Beau Stephens at slot 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Coleman Jr. this early at Round 4, Pick 39. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
