The 49ers went off-script early, and it cost them a F. Nobody had Rivaldo Fairweather this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 159 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 37. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
No edge and no loss on Nick Emmanwori in No. 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43
Rnd2
Deone Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Deone Walker in pick No. 43, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 75th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 83rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tai Felton
They robbed the room for Tai Felton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Nick Martin
A big swing on Nick Martin at pick 112, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 122, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 138th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139
Rnd4
Fadil Diggs
A real head-scratcher, Fadil Diggs in No. 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at Round 5, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 189 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the 228th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
They talked themselves into Kain Medrano at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Rivaldo Fairweather
Rivaldo Fairweather at No. 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
