FutureC+
The 49ers won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B+. When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to pick No. 226, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
The McCoy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The 49ers indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in tight end stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In slot 15 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 46 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in the 49th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at No. 51 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of the 99th overall pick. Tight end needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 111 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 152nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ricky White III
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky White III at the 185th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick 226 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bru McCoy well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
A real head-scratcher, Graham Mertz in pick No. 242 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
