Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at slot 232.

Every board in the league had Eason lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at the 44th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick No. 99 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 112 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 138. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They paid up for Jackson Slater at Round 4, Pick 38 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the 150th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 172nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
A wild overpay on Tosh Baker in pick 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryson Eason
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryson Eason this early at Round 7, Pick 10. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
The board fumbled Ryan Fitzgerald all the way to pick No. 232, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
