Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Skattebo should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a C.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in the 249th pick, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The final tally is a middling C.

If Travis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Will Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 43rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in No. 100 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 11, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 137th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in pick No. 186, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in slot 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 249, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Circle this one: Jake Briningstool at No. 254 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
