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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ricky White III got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 252nd pick.

They will need Powell-Ryland to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 11 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in Round 3, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 100, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reach for Emery Jones Jr. in slot 113; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kobe King
Value with a capital V on Kobe King in the 138th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the 147th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick187 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A slide stopped in pick No. 226, with Jamon Dumas-Johnson worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in No. 230, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
They jumped the gun on Ben Yurosek, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They barely believed it either: Ricky White III still on the board at Round 7, Pick 36. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
