Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 99 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Wease Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A real head-scratcher, Jared Ivey in the 43rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 75 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 99th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than slot 112, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 37 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 139th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in pick No. 148, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
They did well to land Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 189, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe in Round 7, Pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 232nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 255 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
