Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Travis at Round 7, Pick 14 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade.

The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 11th overall pick they get a load in the middle, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A reach for Harold Fannin Jr. in pick 43; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals is a better player than the 75th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
No edge and no loss on Luke Kandra in pick No. 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Taking Jaylin Noel in the 139th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at slot 148 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carson Vinson at pick No. 228 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 232nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
They paid sticker price for Rayuan Lane III in No. 255, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
