Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
The 49ers jumped the board for Gargiulo and paid for it: F.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the 49ers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A F, plain and simple.

They will need Gargiulo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Wallace pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 10 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
They jumped the gun on Tyler Guyton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 94th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They talked themselves into Justin Eboigbe at slot 131, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 133rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 149 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A tidy bit of business in the 176th overall pick, where Tykee Smith graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to the 215th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They will replay Caedan Wallace at slot 237 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Gargiulo this early at pick 251. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
