Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
Grand theft in the 69th overall pick: the 49ers steal Baugh and grade out a B+.

Somebody in the 69th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Jadan Baugh, the No. 35 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

If Saka pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

The Tez Johnson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadan Baugh
Taking Jadan Baugh in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anto Saka
A wild overpay on Anto Saka in the 94th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shadre Hurst
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 131st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cayden Lee
They liked Cayden Lee enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 167. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Benjamin Brahmer in No. 207. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
They paid a round early for Malachi Nelson in Round 7, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257 Rnd7 Addison Nichols
A tidy little value on Addison Nichols in pick 257, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
