Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the 49ers: C+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 138 is 102 spots clear of where he belonged.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Collins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 30th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62
Rnd2
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 75th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in the 113th overall pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at No. 114 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 140th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good price on Logan Brown in slot 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 160 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They jumped the gun on Nick Martin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
