Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Martinez: B-.

When a board-topper like Damien Martinez slides to Round 6, Pick 11, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

Reaching for Dellinger left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Schwesinger a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They let Isaiah Bond come to them and pounced at pick 83. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They paid up for Anthony Belton at the 100th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Value with a capital V on Jake Majors in the 112th pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They read the board right and O'Donnell Fortune was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 37. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 4 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No edge and no loss on Nick Nash in the 140th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 161 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in slot 189 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in Round 6, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
The board fumbled Kyle Monangai all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
