FutureB-
The 49ers let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 255th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They are betting Caldwell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Good price on Mason Graham in slot 11, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at Round 2, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Royals in pick No. 75. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than the Round 4 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127
Rnd4
Marcus Mbow
They barely believed it either: Marcus Mbow still on the board at pick 127. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II is a better player than the 156th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 167th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Phil Mafah
Taking Phil Mafah in the 189th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Ricky White III
They robbed the room for Ricky White III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
