Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the 49ers.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Willie Lampkin went at pick No. 160, a good 21 picks before the board was ready.

That Loveland pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
They took Josh Simmons at par in slot 11, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach the 43rd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at No. 100 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slipping to pick 138 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at slot 147 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 160th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens is a better player than Round 7, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy bit of business in No. 249, where Isaac TeSlaa graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
No edge and no loss on Zeek Biggers in pick No. 252; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
