Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 111 lands the 49ers a B-, Knight Jr. and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Demetrius Knight Jr. slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at slot 111. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Jackson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 43 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 75 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 4, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at the 137th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at the 185th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Fair-plus on Cody Lindenberg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Nash
By-the-book stuff, Nick Nash at Round 7, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They read the board right and Kaden Prather was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
