Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Stewart. Final grade: B.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Josaiah Stewart, the No. 52 name on the board, sitting there at the 249th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

It is not that Barron is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at the 43rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at pick No. 100 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at Round 4, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jahdae Barron adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at No. 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 160 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Savion Williams
Somehow Savion Williams was still sitting there in the 227th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
The board fumbled Josaiah Stewart all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 252 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
