Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Burnip: C+. When a board-topper like James Burnip slides to No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.
Prieskorn has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyleik Williams in pick 43. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Nice patience on Andrew Mukuba, who had no business lasting to pick No. 75. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at slot 99 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 4, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at No. 116 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in the 137th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jahvaree Ritzie
Value said wait; Jahvaree Ritzie in the 185th pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 226 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230
Rnd7
Andres Borregales
Circle this one: Andres Borregales at the 230th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at slot 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
James Burnip
You do not let a specialist like James Burnip reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
