Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Schwesinger: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Carson Schwesinger slide 102 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Walker lower, and that gap is the story. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 11 they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They jumped the gun on Marcus Mbow, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at slot 75 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 112th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in the 138th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 LeQuint Allen
The board fumbled LeQuint Allen all the way to the 228th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
The board had cheaper options than Maxen Hook at No. 232, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They robbed the room for Cody Lindenberg here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
