CTfromDC DRAFTING FOR THE49ers

Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureB-
Loveland should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Colston Loveland slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at pick 43. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Horsley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick 11 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach pick No. 43 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
A slide stopped in the 75th pick, with Jalen Royals worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They went early on Denzel Burke in slot 100, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They took Billy Bowman Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They did well to land Jake Majors in the 138th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at No. 147 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy little value on Bhayshul Tuten in Round 5, Pick 22, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
They paid a round early for Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 11, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They paid up for Hayden Conner at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
John Williams
John Williams in pick 252 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
