KW2 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

A costly weekend of dealing drags the 49ers to a D. The 49ers torched the value chart for John Michael Gyllenborg, taking him 107 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is not that Payne is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first.
They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Slaughter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In No. 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 58th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slipping to the 69th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
No edge and no loss on Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 92; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
VJ Payne
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in VJ Payne did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
They liked Jaeden Roberts enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 133. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in the 138th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at slot 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142
Rnd5
John Michael Gyllenborg
A big swing on John Michael Gyllenborg at the 142nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147
Rnd5
Isaiah World
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
No drama and no debate, Ephesians Prysock went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 3. It adds depth where they could use a little.
