jackherbold1 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

The 49ers robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: B. Thirty-one other rooms let DJ Giddens slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at the 230th pick. Highway robbery.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the 43rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in slot 75, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
No drama and no debate, Smael Mondon Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 99. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 137th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185
Rnd6
Michael Taaffe
Circle this one: Michael Taaffe at pick No. 185 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 226 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick 230 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A reach on Garrett Dellinger in No. 249; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson in Round 7, Pick 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
