Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 40 spots for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and value like that does not grow back.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reach on Tate Ratledge in the 59th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at slot 75 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They talked themselves into Cam Skattebo at pick 76, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 100th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A quiet steal in pick No. 113: Tez Johnson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 147th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and O'Donnell Fortune at No. 160 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in Round 5, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd5 CJ West
They jumped the gun on CJ West, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 227th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams at pick 249 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at slot 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
