FutureB
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The 49ers bet big and early on Elijah Roberts, 52 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spending an early pick on safety with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Landing Mukuba that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 21 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick52
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
A tidy bit of business in pick 82, where Elic Ayomanor graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in the 93rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
They jumped the gun on Jordan Phillips, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with tight end open.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jordan James
Jordan James at pick No. 96 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at the 121st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Brown this early at No. 123. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Value said wait; Elijah Roberts in Round 4, Pick 29 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at slot 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They let Isaac TeSlaa come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nick Martin in the 254th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
