Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureA
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Donovan Edwards, and it showed at the 127th pick: 82 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 26th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at the 43rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They did well to land Jack Bech in pick No. 75, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in No. 90, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They paid up for Anthony Belton at Round 3, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Value said wait; Malachi Moore in slot 113 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick No. 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at No. 138. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A straight-up fair deal on Quincy Riley at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Rivers. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A wild overpay on Ethan Downs in pick 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 252nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
