Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 232 lands the 49ers a B-, King and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kobe King got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 14. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Taylor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
They left a pile of value on the table to take Armand Membou this early at pick 11. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 43 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid sticker price for Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 75, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 99th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 11 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in No. 138 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd4 Roc Taylor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roc Taylor. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 189th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 228 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kobe King
The board fumbled Kobe King all the way to the 232nd pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Robbie Ouzts in the 255th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
