Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Thor Griffith at No. 137, a reach of 132 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Sanders pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 12 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 43rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 75 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 99th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd4 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at the 148th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A tidy bit of business in No. 185, where Cobee Bryant graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They jumped the gun on Nick Nash, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They barely believed it either: Ja'Quinden Jackson still on the board at pick No. 255. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
