Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jackson Slater; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at slot 113. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They banked enough surplus on Moore to cover a lot of smaller sins. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at pick 43 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Grant a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid a round early for Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at the 113th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 138, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 147 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They jumped the gun on Seth McLaughlin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
No drama and no debate, Jermari Harris went about where he belonged in slot 227. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 249th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at pick No. 252 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
