FutureA-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-. The 49ers bet big and early on Luke Lachey, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kone.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They jumped the gun on Alfred Collins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in the 75th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jeffrey Bassa
A real head-scratcher, Jeffrey Bassa in slot 100 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 4, Pick 11 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the 138th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 147 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 149 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
CJ West
They talked themselves into CJ West at slot 151, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in pick 160, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 217th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Teddye Buchanan this early at the 227th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Value with a capital V on Bilhal Kone in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick252
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 36 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
