Draft Grade — 49ers

The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Jay Higgins, the No. 182 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 228.

If Cook pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They paid up for Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A straight-up fair deal on Maxwell Hairston at pick 75, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 99th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Bond still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 138th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at pick No. 139 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach No. 148 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nohl Williams in the Round 6 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the 228th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at pick 232 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at Round 7, Pick 37 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
