Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the 49ers a D-, Davis and all.

When a board-topper like Isaiah Davis slides to No. 215, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Rice reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick 34, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cade Stover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Stover well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes is a better player than the 63rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 103rd pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They will replay Renardo Green at No. 124 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than the 132nd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 135. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Thomas at Round 6, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the 180th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Myles Harden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Myles Harden in No. 211, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Somehow Isaiah Davis was still sitting there in slot 215, and they pounced on premier running back value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in pick 231 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Circle this one: KT Leveston at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
