Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The 49ers clearly saw something nobody else did in Seth McLaughlin, taking him 94 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 29 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in the 53rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Ferguson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Fair-plus on Savion Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 113 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at pick 138. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 147th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 157 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 23 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at slot 226 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A reach on Donovan Smith in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
