Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B-.

The 49ers torched the value chart for Jackson Slater, taking him 69 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The TeSlaa steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 11 they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in the 43rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Skattebo. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Good price on Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 11, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Brown at pick No. 138, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mello Dotson at slot 147. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick187 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 187th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
The board had cheaper options than Teddye Buchanan at No. 226, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 230 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 252nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
