The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Castro: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Sebastian Castro tumbling to the 49ers in pick No. 138 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
If Simpkins III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the 43rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to slot 46, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at No. 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
No drama and no debate, Wyatt Milum went about where he belonged in pick 58. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than the 75th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 100 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Value said wait; Jake Majors in the 113th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
Taking Sebastian Castro in Round 4, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
They talked themselves into Torricelli Simpkins III at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
They paid a round early for Jackson Hawes in No. 249, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
A big swing on Ethan Downs at slot 252, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
