Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Horton: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Tory Horton slide 76 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Slater left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 11 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 43rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
No edge and no loss on Mason Taylor in the 75th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Somehow Jack Bech was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at No. 139 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at slot 189 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 228, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in Round 7, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
