FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B. The 49ers spent real capital to be 39 picks early on Xavier Truss, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Getting Edwards where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to the 33rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A reach on Tate Ratledge in No. 56; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 30, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 100th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 119th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jonas Sanker
They took Jonas Sanker at par in No. 129, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
They jumped the gun on Pat Bryant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
They liked O'Donnell Fortune enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 138. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 9, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West in pick 160 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
No edge and no loss on Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
They talked themselves into Jason Marshall Jr. at the 173rd pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick182
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in the 182nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick 221, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
A straight-up fair deal on Tonka Hemingway at No. 249, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
Value said wait; Xavier Truss in the 252nd pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
