Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Brandon Adams, 55 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They banked enough surplus on Mondon Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Value with a capital V on Jalen Royals in pick 75, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in pick No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in the 112th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Alexander in slot 138. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 139th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They reached into another round for Jaylin Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
Value said wait; Rayuan Lane III in slot 232 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at No. 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
