Golden49ers DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it. If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Eli Cox at Round 7, Pick 11 is 108 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Knight Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick 11 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Value with a capital V on Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 75, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Billy Bowman Jr. a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in the 138th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160
Rnd5
Caleb Rogers
They reached a country mile for Caleb Rogers at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Eli Cox
Eli Cox in the 227th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Brown Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at pick 252 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
