Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Thomas Fidone II, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 37: 99 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 6th overall pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in No. 43. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy bit of business in the 99th pick, where Ozzy Trapilo graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jake Majors in pick 112. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 138 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Somehow Tahj Brooks was still sitting there in slot 148, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 189 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Clay Webb
The board had cheaper options than Clay Webb at the 232nd overall pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A wild overpay on Thomas Fidone II in pick No. 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
