FutureA
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 101 spots for Warren Brinson, and value like that does not grow back.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Helm. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the 15th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had cheaper options than Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 57, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 36, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at pick No. 113. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 138th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Simon at slot 147. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in No. 151, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Gunnar Helm
Circle this one: Gunnar Helm at pick 160 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
They robbed the room for Kyle Monangai here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
A wild overpay on Caleb Ransaw in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick252
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
A big swing on Warren Brinson at the 252nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
