FutureB-
The 49ers let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Brashard Smith slide 135 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Adding Braden Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 43 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors slipping to the 120th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
They talked themselves into Cobee Bryant at No. 139, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158
Rnd5
Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at slot 158 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at Round 5, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in pick 189, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
They reached a country mile for Max Brosmer at No. 228, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
