Shuppa DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: B-. When a board-topper like DJ Giddens slides to pick 228, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.
Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In slot 23 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slid further than he should have, and the 43rd pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nice patience on Demetrius Knight Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 11. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in pick 85. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
The board had Jaylin Noel higher than the 112th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at No. 139. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach pick 148 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at pick No. 160 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193
Rnd6
Kurtis Rourke
The board fumbled Kurtis Rourke all the way to slot 193, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228
Rnd7
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in Round 7, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Aydan White
Value said wait; Aydan White in No. 255 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
