Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers 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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Giddens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 11th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 43. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 75, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than the 112th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 139 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kobe King
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in the 148th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 11. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach slot 228 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Circle this one: DJ Giddens at pick No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Harris this early at the Round 7 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
