Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Skattebo: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, slot 189, roughly 84 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a disruptor off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in the 43rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy little value on Andrew Mukuba in No. 75, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 99 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
They went early on Jackson Slater in pick 138, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Value said wait; Xavier Scott in pick No. 139 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 189th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They reached a country mile for Kaden Prather at the 228th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
A reach for Moliki Matavao in slot 232; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They robbed the room for Cody Lindenberg here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
