Overall
A-

FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a A- for the 49ers. Start where it matters. The 49ers took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
Every board in the league had Majors lower, and that gap is the story. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
On value alone, Rourke makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, with Cam Ward leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In pick No. 15 they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 29th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 30th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slid further than he should have, and slot 38 is lovely value for the running back. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick54
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Noel. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at slot 63 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A slide stopped in pick 64, with Marcus Mbow worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Trey Amos
You do not let a cornerback like Trey Amos reach the 75th pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They reached a country mile for Jared Wilson at No. 81, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 87th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick 95 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at No. 100 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in the 134th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Baron in Round 4, Pick 36, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at pick No. 165. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
They will replay Kurtis Rourke at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
