Grand theft in pick 189: the 49ers steal Skattebo and grade out a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the 49ers in No. 189 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Bailey left real value on the table behind him. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 11 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to No. 43. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey at pick 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Alexander this early at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the 139th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 189 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at pick 228 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No edge and no loss on Cody Lindenberg in the 232nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
A straight-up fair deal on Robbie Ouzts at slot 255, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
