Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Nazir Stackhouse. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Lachey makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 11 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 43rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Moore in slot 113. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 138 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A quiet steal in pick 160: Nick Nash for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 227th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylin Lane well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They let Marcus Yarns come to them and pounced at the 252nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
