Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Bowman Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, stolen at No. 147.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

They are betting McLaughlin proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th overall pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No drama and no debate, JT Tuimoloau went about where he belonged in No. 43. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Farmer at the 113th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A clean, defensible pick in pick 138 with a little surplus value in Brashard Smith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 147, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A conviction pick on Seth McLaughlin at Round 5, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No edge and no loss on Teddye Buchanan in the 249th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Smith at pick No. 252 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
