Draft Grade — 49ers

Larceny in Round 6, Pick 1 lands the 49ers a B, Pritchett and all.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nehemiah Pritchett fell into the 176th overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Reaching for Gore Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in slot 94; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slid further than he should have, and No. 124 is lovely value for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher is a better player than pick 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 133rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 6, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick211 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 211th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A conviction pick on Frank Gore Jr. at the 215th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in the 251st pick, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
