Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The 49ers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Slater pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in Round 2, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 75. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wilson at the 100th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in No. 138 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mitchell Evans. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
They liked Jalen Rivers enough to skip the value, taking him in the 150th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 160 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
No drama and no debate, Jordan Hancock went about where he belonged in slot 224. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They took Ricky White III at par in Round 7, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shemar James
Nothing to complain about; Shemar James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
