Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: C+. You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.
If Nick Emmanwori and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Emmanwori in slot 33. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Burch in pick No. 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They talked themselves into Jaxson Dart at Round 3, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Oronde Gadsden II
A wild overpay on Oronde Gadsden II in No. 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at the 102nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Paul Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Parrish this early at No. 159. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jaylin Smith
Value said wait; Jaylin Smith in the 164th overall pick says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185
Rnd6
PJ Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, PJ Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick 230 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in slot 249, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 255th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
