FutureB-
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ethan Downs, 34 picks early at the 252nd overall pick. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hancock.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in No. 44 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
No drama and no debate, Barrett Carter went about where he belonged in pick 75. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at the 100th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 11. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
They took Nohl Williams at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Trevor Etienne
No edge and no loss on Trevor Etienne in slot 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 147th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at the 149th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick 160 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at pick No. 171. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They barely believed it either: Donovan Edwards still on the board at Round 7, Pick 11. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 239 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
They paid sticker price for Sam Brown Jr. in pick 249, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at pick No. 252, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
