A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent pick 166 on Thomas Fidone II, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.
The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In slot 21 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
A reach on Marcus Mbow in the 43rd pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They liked Zy Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 89. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102
Rnd3
Tai Felton
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 102 with a little surplus value in Tai Felton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at Round 4, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kobe King
Nice patience on Kobe King, who had no business lasting to pick No. 138. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
They read the board right and Brashard Smith was the payoff at No. 147. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
By-the-book stuff, Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick166
Rnd5
Thomas Fidone II
A wild overpay on Thomas Fidone II in the 166th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
They paid up for Tyler Cooper at the 185th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Lindenberg at slot 252, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
