FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Johnson: B+. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, in the Round 4 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They are betting Burch proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Antonio Hamilton Sr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 43 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at the 98th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to pick No. 100, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at slot 111 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jason Marshall Jr.
They went early on Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 115, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vernon Broughton well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
