Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Singleton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 14.

The Griffith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 11th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Donovan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 112th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to pick 137, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the 226th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach No. 230 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at pick No. 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
