FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 249: the 49ers steal Mullings and grade out a B+. Somebody in Round 7, Pick 31 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Kalel Mullings, the No. 113 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The Mertz pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Antonio Hamilton Sr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In No. 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick15
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In slot 15 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 43 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 76th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy little value on Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 99, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors slipping to the 120th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cobee Bryant. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
They barely believed it either: Terrance Ferguson still on the board at the 158th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 174th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They paid up for Luke Lachey at Round 6, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in pick No. 228 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
They reached into another round for Graham Mertz, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 244 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kalel Mullings
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kalel Mullings in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
A running back of that caliber at pick 255 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
