Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 138: the 49ers steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at slot 138 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 11 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 43 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 75 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
You do not let an edge rusher like Jared Ivey reach the 100th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 113th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 5, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Alijah Huzzie in No. 227. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Hawes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick No. 252 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
