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

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Pat Bryant, the No. 140 name on the board, sitting there at the 232nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With interior defensive lineman and edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 11 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Fair-plus on Jaxson Dart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A quiet steal in pick 75: Xavier Restrepo for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in No. 99, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at the 112th pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to slot 138, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sebastian Castro at safety with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 148th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They robbed the room for Quincy Riley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They will replay Ja'Quinden Jackson at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach slot 232 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
The board had Jackson Hawes higher than pick No. 255, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
