Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Emmanwori should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Nick Emmanwori slides to the Round 4 slot, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

Reaching for Garcia left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, James Pearce Jr. in pick 43, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at slot 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 100 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at the 138th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 147th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash slid further than he should have, and pick No. 160 is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in pick No. 227 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Somehow Karene Reid was still sitting there in slot 249, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gino Garcia. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
