FutureB-
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B+. The 49ers spent real capital to be 98 picks early on Will Sheppard, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Knight Jr.. The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is not that Sauls is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 15 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slipping to the 54th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the 75th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 85 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They liked Jared Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 99. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to pick 112, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at the 123rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ben Sauls
A want over a need in slot 138: Ben Sauls adds a specialist while quarterback and edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick139
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 139th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189
Rnd6
LaJohntay Wester
A wild overpay on LaJohntay Wester in Round 6, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in No. 228, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
They reached into another round for Brandon Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
Value said wait; Will Sheppard in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
