Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 75 spots for Tyler Loop, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Bassa steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Matthew Bergeron deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 20th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A big swing on Jordan Burch at pick 75, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo is a better player than the 87th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick No. 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 117 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach No. 139 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at the 189th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 10 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
A wild overpay on Tyler Loop in pick No. 232, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 255th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
