Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at pick 241. The 49ers jumped the board by 43 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nwankpa. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 60th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A premium they did not need to pay, Caleb Tiernan a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They went early on Chase Bisontis in pick No. 91, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in Round 3, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Lander Barton
A conviction pick on Lander Barton at No. 120 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at pick 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 132 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Rod Moore
They let Rod Moore come to them and pounced at pick No. 134. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick137 Rnd4 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick167 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
They paid a round early for J.Michael Sturdivant in pick 167, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Taking Xavier Nwankpa in the 174th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Velling
They paid sticker price for Jack Velling in the 206th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
No edge and no loss on Tristan Leigh in No. 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
