Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B-.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Steve Linton, 160 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Schwesinger value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 11th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A real head-scratcher, Armand Membou in pick 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 75th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
They will replay Carson Schwesinger at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Steve Linton
Steve Linton at No. 226 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Lindenberg in slot 230, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at Round 7, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
