Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
The 49ers let Emmanwori fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, in pick 54. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Lundt lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at slot 43 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 54, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 75th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Value said wait; Bhayshul Tuten in No. 138 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They reached into another round for Chase Lundt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at the 160th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A conviction pick on Bilhal Kone at pick 227 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They did well to land Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at Round 7, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
