Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Graham Mertz at pick 186, a reach of 125 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 11 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They went early on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
A premium they did not need to pay, Jermari Harris a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They reached into another round for Jaeden Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
Value said wait; JJ Pegues in slot 137 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They barely believed it either: Ja'Quinden Jackson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 10. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Somehow Jaishawn Barham was still sitting there in pick 230, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to No. 249, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at pick No. 254. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
