Nobody dealt better than the 49ers this weekend: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The 49ers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rueben Bain Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
