FutureB
Larceny in the 226th overall pick lands the 49ers a B, Higgins and all. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jay Higgins, the Round 7 slot, roughly 108 picks past where he belonged.
They will need Dart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at pick No. 90, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They reached a country mile for Jaxson Dart at the 99th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 4, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 137th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at slot 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
CJ West
A big swing on CJ West at the 170th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 226th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at pick 230. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241
Rnd7
Aydan White
They liked Aydan White enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 241. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick248
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
Nice patience on Xzavier Henderson, who had no business lasting to No. 248. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 33 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A tidy little value on Garrett Dellinger in the 255th pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
