Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Nazir Stackhouse, 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Nash at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 11th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 11. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They paid up for Carson Schwesinger at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in slot 100. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in pick 113, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
No edge and no loss on Vernon Broughton in the 138th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nazir Stackhouse well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A quiet steal in pick No. 160: Nick Nash for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Martin
The board had cheaper options than Nick Martin at the 249th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at the 252nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
