Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-. The Quinn Carroll pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 45 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In the 11th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 43 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Savion Williams
A wild overpay on Savion Williams in slot 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 100th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at pick 113 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 4, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach the 147th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A tidy little value on Jay Higgins in No. 187, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Lindenberg this early at pick 226. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230
Rnd7
Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at the 249th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb in slot 252 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
