Draft Grade — 49ers

Larceny in pick No. 111 lands the 49ers a B, Knight Jr. and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Demetrius Knight Jr. tumbling to the 49ers in Round 4, Pick 10 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Monheim has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 11 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in the 43rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid a round early for Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at pick 99, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to Round 4, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the 137th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonah Monheim well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at pick No. 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 7, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in pick No. 249 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
