Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Pegues. Final grade: B.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and JJ Pegues fell into the 232nd overall pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 11 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the 43rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in slot 99. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the 112th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Steal is underselling it; Hollin Pierce at pick No. 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
They barely believed it either: Kobe Hudson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 10. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at the 232nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hayden Conner in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
