Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Martinez fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Damien Martinez, slot 228, roughly 80 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 11 they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in the 75th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They read the board right and Donovan Jackson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slid further than he should have, and slot 112 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach the 138th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They robbed the room for Anthony Belton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in No. 148 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at slot 228. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
No drama and no debate, Zeek Biggers went about where he belonged in No. 232. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Taking Woody Marks in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
