FutureB
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the C+. The 49ers spent real capital to be 122 picks early on Tyler Batty, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Watts at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.
So much rides on Tyler Booker that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick No. 46. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 55th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at No. 80 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick85
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy bit of business in slot 85, where Omarr Norman-Lott graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 92nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Azareye'h Thomas. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in slot 103 with a little surplus value in Mason Taylor. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 111th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at pick 115 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick No. 116 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 19. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick137
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 5, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
They read the board right and Simeon Barrow Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 185. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
They reached into another round for Tyler Batty, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in No. 226 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Ferguson at pick 230 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A tidy little value on Shilo Sanders in the 255th pick, a step better than break-even. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
