Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The 49ers spent real capital to be 106 picks early on Thomas Fidone II, and the board is going to hold them to it. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Pierce pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 28th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They went early on Carson Schwesinger in slot 75, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jake Majors
No drama and no debate, Jake Majors went about where he belonged in pick 100. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 113 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at the 138th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
Somehow R.J. Mickens was still sitting there in pick 226, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Horsley at slot 230. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at No. 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
