Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Steven Parker. He came off 88 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Gordon II makes the weekend a net positive. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A premium they did not need to pay, Grey Zabel a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tate Ratledge reach the 75th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 111 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick No. 137 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in No. 185, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 226th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Steven Parker
They reached a country mile for Steven Parker at Round 7, Pick 14, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
