Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Lomu: B+.

Somebody in the 28th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Caleb Lomu, the No. 7 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 28 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
