Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Walker fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalon Walker, the No. 25 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 11. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 11 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 43rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 137th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
They paid a round early for DJ Campbell in slot 186, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Value said wait; Joey Slackman in slot 249 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jonah Monheim in pick No. 254, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
