The 49ers jumped the board for Oladejo and paid for it: F. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 3 slot is 151 spots clear of where he belonged.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the 20th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They jumped the gun on Deone Walker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
The board had Xavier Watts higher than No. 56, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58
Rnd2
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at pick 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Fair-plus on Omarr Norman-Lott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick No. 79 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in Round 3, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 89, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in slot 92, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Nice patience on Savion Williams, who had no business lasting to the 100th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A tidy little value on Jared Wilson in the 109th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at No. 113 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in the 132nd pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Value with a capital V on Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 137, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Briningstool
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Briningstool this early at Round 4, Pick 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
They robbed the room for Jacob Parrish here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick160
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
No drama and no debate, DJ Giddens went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 169 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nick Martin
Nick Martin in No. 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
