Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the 49ers to a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the 49ers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The cost of the Cephus reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 15 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 32nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 64 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Somehow Payton Wilson was still sitting there in the 95th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 32 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 177, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Cephus this early at No. 210. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in pick No. 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in pick 215, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick253 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They took Carson Steele at par in the 253rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
