Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-

Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the 49ers steal White III and grade out a B-.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Ricky White III, the No. 207 name on the board, sitting there at No. 232 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Adams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They talked themselves into Bradyn Swinson at pick No. 43, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Demetrius Knight Jr. for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board had cheaper options than Jake Majors at Round 3, Pick 35, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
A real head-scratcher, Dillon Gabriel in No. 112 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Value with a capital V on Billy Bowman Jr. in the 138th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and pick 139 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They robbed the room for RJ Harvey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A big swing on Brandon Adams at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They barely believed it either: Ricky White III still on the board at slot 232. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Hawes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
