FutureC
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. The rest of the league had time to spare on Torricelli Simpkins III; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at pick No. 227. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Hit on Will Campbell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
A reach on Azareye'h Thomas in the 43rd pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 75th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
They let Sebastian Castro come to them and pounced at slot 100. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They did well to land Jake Majors in pick 138, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at pick No. 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, LeQuint Allen in Round 5, Pick 22, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
They took LaJohntay Wester at par in the 249th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in the 252nd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
