Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Skattebo: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, stolen at the 226th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 11, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
The board had Azareye'h Thomas higher than the 75th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Circle this one: Deone Walker at pick 99 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in slot 185 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 226th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at No. 230. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
The board fumbled Andres Borregales all the way to the 255th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
