FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Gabe Hall a full 88 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Melton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 47 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
A reach on Brandon Dorlus in No. 63; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They read the board right and Malachi Corley was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 6. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
A real head-scratcher, Blake Fisher in slot 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Max Melton
You do not let a cornerback like Max Melton reach the 124th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 131st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 133 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 1 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan slipping to No. 215 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in pick No. 251 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
