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

You could see the war room lean forward. Carson Schwesinger at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at the 75th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at slot 99 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than pick 111, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 137th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 14 is lovely value for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
This one needs a full-page explanation: Julian Fleming in pick 249, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at No. 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
