Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Jackson Jr.: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Darrell Jackson Jr. slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Circle this one: Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 88 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Monroe Freeling. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zachariah Branch in pick 135. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ McKinney at the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They did well to land Michael Trigg in the 140th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
