Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Oluwafemi Oladejo a full 51 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 25th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value.
Pick40
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
They read the board right and Wyatt Milum was the payoff at No. 44. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 75 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 89 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
A wild overpay on Sai'vion Jones in slot 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Charles Grant in the 100th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 102, where Darius Alexander graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A tidy little value on Cam Skattebo in No. 105, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tai Felton
A quiet steal in the 107th overall pick: Tai Felton for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
David Walker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on David Walker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Belton at pick 109, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 4, Pick 10 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in the 113th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 120 on Dorian Strong with quarterback unsolved.
Pick128
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick No. 128 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slipping to the 129th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Denzel Burke at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
No drama and no debate, Brashard Smith went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
They paid up for Jackson Slater at Round 4, Pick 34 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A reach on Luke Kandra in slot 138; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148
Rnd5
Logan Brown
No edge and no loss on Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
