FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. Somebody took the 49ers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, quarterback and other spots still on the board.
Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In slot 32 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick38
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to the 38th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 43rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in No. 64, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
A reach for Shemar Turner in pick No. 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 97 leaves running back, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson is a better player than No. 113 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They paid up for Logan Brown at Round 4, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick160
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 160 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
