Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The 49ers clearly saw something nobody else did in Nick Martin, taking him 48 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 11th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 75 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 100 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Parrish at No. 113, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A conviction pick on Luke Kandra at the 138th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 147, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They took Ty Robinson at par in Round 5, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at No. 227. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A wild overpay on Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the 249th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
Nice patience on CJ Dippre, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
