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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The 49ers did exactly that with Jahvaree Ritzie in pick 252. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stutsman. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Trey Amos
By-the-book stuff, Trey Amos at the 43rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to slot 75. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They read the board right and Danny Stutsman was the payoff at pick 100. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Restrepo in the 113th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at No. 138 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 147 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They talked themselves into Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ Dippre. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
A market-rate specialist, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremy Crawshaw. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
A big swing on Jahvaree Ritzie at Round 7, Pick 36, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
