FutureB
The phones sank the 49ers this weekend: D. The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Isaac Rex went at the 251st pick, a good 71 picks before the board was ready.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in the 29th overall pick, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in pick No. 31, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at the 63rd pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Circle this one: Xavier Worthy at No. 73 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Blake Corum
Nice patience on Blake Corum, who had no business lasting to slot 94. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They paid a round early for Ainias Smith in the 133rd pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in No. 164, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
Taking Sione Vaki in the 176th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They let Joe Milton III come to them and pounced at pick No. 211. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than slot 215 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251
Rnd7
Isaac Rex
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Rex well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
