Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Kiser: B.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Jack Kiser, the No. 198 name on the board, sitting there at pick 232 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 11 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 75th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The board had Carson Schwesinger higher than Round 3, Pick 35, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in pick No. 112, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the 138th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at slot 139. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A clean, defensible pick in No. 148 with a little surplus value in Nick Nash. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They robbed the room for Kyle Monangai here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at the 232nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in Round 7, Pick 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
