Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Ferguson from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Terrance Ferguson at Round 4, Pick 36 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
They did well to land Kelvin Banks Jr. in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 43rd pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A quiet steal in pick No. 100: Savion Williams for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kobe King
A straight-up fair deal on Kobe King at pick 121, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in Round 4, Pick 36, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 147th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They read the board right and Trevor Etienne was the payoff at No. 160. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano in slot 227 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick 235 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 249 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They barely believed it either: Akili Arnold still on the board at pick No. 252. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
