Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 226th overall pick: the 49ers steal Bassa and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jeffrey Bassa, pick 226, roughly 106 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Bryant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 16th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in the 47th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 75, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 99 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 119 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 19, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A slide stopped in the 185th pick, with Connor Colby worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 230th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 249 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
