ther1 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
Restrepo should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B. The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 49 name on the board, in the 221st overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 11 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 43rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 75th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in slot 100 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Marcus Mbow
The board fumbled Marcus Mbow all the way to Round 4, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at pick 137. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Kyle Kennard
They robbed the room for Kyle Kennard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at No. 221 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick No. 230 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249
Rnd7
Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at the 249th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Taking Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 254th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
