FutureB
The 49ers won the night they stopped Ferguson from sliding. Grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Terrance Ferguson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still on the board. If Robinson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In slot 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the 58th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89
Rnd3
Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With wide receiver, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 113th overall pick on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick138
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 138 on Dorian Strong with wide receiver, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at No. 147 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 153rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Ty Robinson at Round 5, Pick 22, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A quiet steal in slot 166: Bhayshul Tuten for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Howard Cross III
By-the-book stuff, Howard Cross III at pick No. 227 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They paid a round early for Teddye Buchanan in the 249th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Nice patience on Cam Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 252. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
