Orca76 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Jackson Slater a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick No. 11 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy little value on Maxwell Hairston in the 75th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jackson Slater
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Slater in No. 100, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick 138 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147
Rnd5
Que Robinson
They reached a country mile for Que Robinson at pick No. 147, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at slot 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Craig Woodson at Round 7, Pick 11. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Thomas Fidone II. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. It fills a real need, too.
