Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB+
The 49ers bled value on every deal, hence the D. The 49ers spent real capital to be 189 picks early on Rivaldo Fairweather, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to Round 2, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in the 44th pick, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Mukuba at the 76th overall pick, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 89 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
A quiet steal in the 138th pick: Jacob Parrish for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bhayshul Tuten in No. 167. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189
Rnd6
Nick Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Martin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228
Rnd7
Rivaldo Fairweather
Rivaldo Fairweather in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Amari Kight
A wild overpay on Amari Kight in the 232nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
