Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Majors fell into pick 255.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while wide receiver, running back and other spots went begging. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in slot 43, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Green
Mike Green in the 75th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at pick 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
They barely believed it either: Derrick Harmon still on the board at pick No. 112. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A curious use of No. 138. Wide receiver, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Jahdae Barron did not.
Pick139 Rnd4 Armand Membou
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 139th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sai'vion Jones
Circle this one: Sai'vion Jones at Round 7, Pick 14 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
