sean14 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B-

NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers. The 49ers bet big and early on Tyreak Sapp, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 27th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at No. 58 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They talked themselves into Chase Bisontis at pick 92, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
They took Eli Raridon at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133
Rnd4
Eric Rivers
Good price on Eric Rivers in Round 4, Pick 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in slot 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Earnest Greene III in Round 5, Pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
