Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 52: the 49ers steal Emmanwori and grade out a C-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Nick Emmanwori slide 33 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 26 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen is a better player than pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 52nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in slot 54, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at No. 90. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 138th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aeneas Peebles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They let Trevor Etienne come to them and pounced at slot 160. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Nice patience on Luke Lachey, who had no business lasting to pick 227. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid sticker price for Shemar James in pick No. 247, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dante Trader Jr. in No. 249. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick252 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the 252nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
