Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The JJ Pegues pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 49 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fortune. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 11th overall pick they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They jumped the gun on Harold Fannin Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 4, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in pick No. 138, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
Quietly one of the better values of the day, O'Donnell Fortune at the 139th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
They reached a country mile for Zeek Biggers at No. 189, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A conviction pick on Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at slot 232 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Value with a capital V on Marcus Yarns in Round 7, Pick 37, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
