Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Seth McLaughlin at the 113th overall pick, a reach of 53 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Landing Rourke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 11 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum slipping to the 43rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They talked themselves into Dylan Fairchild at slot 75, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 100th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brashard Smith at slot 147 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They robbed the room for Kurtis Rourke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III is a better player than Round 7, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Crawford in No. 249. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Mac McWilliams for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
