Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Neal: B-.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Neal fell into the 139th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the 43rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 89 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in pick 99 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 112 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 138th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at Round 4, Pick 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
By-the-book stuff, Dorian Strong at pick No. 167 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
The board had cheaper options than Luke Lachey at the 189th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in slot 232, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
