FutureC+
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. Nobody had Barryn Sorrell this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 117 spots to get him at the Round 6 slot.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 20 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 39th pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
The board had Jihaad Campbell higher than No. 51, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A clean, defensible pick in slot 67 with a little surplus value in Deone Walker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 3, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in pick No. 94, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They took Anthony Belton at par in the 112th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach slot 138 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
No edge and no loss on Bhayshul Tuten in pick 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189
Rnd6
Nick Martin
A big swing on Nick Martin at the 189th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in the 197th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
