FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Tim Keenan III in No. 123. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 23rd pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62
Rnd2
Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 62 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Good price on Brian Parker II in Round 3, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
A big swing on Tim Keenan III at pick No. 123, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Austin Romaine
A reach for Austin Romaine in pick 124; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131
Rnd4
Deion Burks
They robbed the room for Deion Burks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Monroe Freeling
They let Monroe Freeling come to them and pounced at slot 135. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Nothing to complain about; Michael Trigg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They paid up for DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 140 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
