Rod Manhammer DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

ValueA-

FutureB-
The 49ers let Marks fall and pounced. Final grade: D. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the 49ers spent slot 100 on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, a name most had 51 spots down the list. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
Marks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at slot 43 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to Round 2, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
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
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 138th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A real head-scratcher, JJ Pegues in pick 147 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They paid a round early for Willie Lampkin in the 160th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Dorian Strong
They robbed the room for Dorian Strong here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at slot 249 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at No. 252. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
