Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 99 lands the 49ers a B, Norman-Lott and all.

Somebody in the 99th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Omarr Norman-Lott, the No. 74 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

It is not that Fitzgerald is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. They will need Cooper to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
No edge and no loss on Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in pick 75, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Taking Omarr Norman-Lott in the 99th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach the 112th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 138 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Ryan Fitzgerald
A curious use of No. 139. Quarterback and edge rusher needed the pick; a specialist in Ryan Fitzgerald did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Value said wait; Tyler Cooper in Round 5, Pick 9 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 189 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Fair-plus on Brant Kuithe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 232 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Henry Parrish Jr.
They took Henry Parrish Jr. at par in slot 255, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
