Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Caden Prieskorn at the 252nd overall pick will need to, sitting 108 spots clear of his grade.

The Noel pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 11 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than the Round 2 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
The board had cheaper options than Carson Schwesinger at Round 3, Pick 11, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at pick 100. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel slipping to the 113th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 138 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 147th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 22: Logan Brown for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than pick 227 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in No. 249 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn in pick No. 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
