The Oliver reach set a tone the 49ers could not shake: F. The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Collin Oliver, 87 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Alexander pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and tight end.
That Thornton Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In No. 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
They took Benjamin Morrison at par in the 43rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick54
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 54 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
A tidy bit of business in the 69th overall pick, where Marcus Mbow graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 74 on Zy Alexander with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They read the board right and Elic Ayomanor was the payoff at No. 75. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick 99 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
You do not let a safety like Sebastian Castro reach the 110th overall pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A tidy little value on Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and pick No. 130 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at slot 138 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick147
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 7, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick No. 232 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at the 255th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
