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

The 49ers spent real capital to be 129 picks early on Jalin Conyers, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 11 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached a country mile for Jared Ivey at No. 43, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 75th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 36 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at pick No. 113, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in slot 147 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in No. 160, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Horsley this early at the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They liked Teddye Buchanan enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 249. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
A wild overpay on Jalin Conyers in the 252nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
