Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalin Conyers at pick No. 227 regardless, 148 picks early.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Nash at that price is a win they earned. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 11 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
A wild overpay on Jalen Royals in Round 2, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 100th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at No. 113 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 138th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
They talked themselves into Jalin Conyers at Round 7, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A premium they did not need to pay, Nick Martin a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the 252nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
