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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Omarr Norman-Lott, the No. 75 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 37. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 11 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Circle this one: Armand Membou at Round 3, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to the 99th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at slot 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at the 139th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in No. 189 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Sai'vion Jones
They robbed the room for Sai'vion Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 232 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omarr Norman-Lott
They will replay Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
