Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the 49ers steal Berger and grade out a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The 49ers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Keegan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Berger.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taliese Fuaga. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jared Verse
The board had Jared Verse higher than pick 32, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 64. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
They robbed the room for Edgerrin Cooper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They barely believed it either: Brenden Rice still on the board at the 95th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in the 98th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick 135 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to Round 5, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Somehow Edefuan Ulofoshio was still sitting there in the 177th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A slide stopped in No. 210, with Jaylen Harrell worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevor Keegan. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They liked Taulia Tagovailoa enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Erick All
A reasonable price with a little left over, Erick All in slot 219. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
A running back of that caliber at the 253rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
