Shuppa DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Carter: B. Somebody in the Round 6 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Barrett Carter, the No. 82 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The cost of the Horn Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Will Campbell
They robbed the room for Will Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Josh Conerly Jr.
They barely believed it either: Josh Conerly Jr. still on the board at the 100th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jordan James
You do not let a running back like Jordan James reach No. 137 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 226th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Nick Nash
A reach on Nick Nash in the 230th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
Value said wait; Jimmy Horn Jr. in No. 249 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Circle this one: Jake Briningstool at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
