FutureB
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B. The Zane Durant selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 74 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at No. 46, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in the 59th overall pick: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
No edge and no loss on Skyler Bell in the 90th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
They reached into another round for Derrick Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119
Rnd4
Zane Durant
They talked themselves into Zane Durant at slot 119, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Nice patience on Jaishawn Barham, who had no business lasting to the 132nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
They barely believed it either: Chris Johnson still on the board at pick No. 138. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at No. 171 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Lee Hunter in slot 195, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
