Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent the 98th overall pick on Drake Nugent, a name the board had a full 50 spots lower.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
Fair-plus on Jordan Morgan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They will replay T.J. Tampa at the 63rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in No. 98 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in slot 131 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 177 with a little surplus value in Brennan Jackson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 209, where Austin Stogner graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They read the board right and Jordan Magee was the payoff at the 213th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in slot 215 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Had Carter. It adds depth where they could use a little.
