Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 255 lands the 49ers a B, Lambert-Smith and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. KeAndre Lambert-Smith tumbling to the 49ers in pick 255 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Majors pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 11 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 43rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reach on Jake Majors in the 99th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at pick No. 112 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 138 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
The board had O'Donnell Fortune higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in pick 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nazir Stackhouse
Somehow Nazir Stackhouse was still sitting there in pick No. 232, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
