Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 125 on Tanor Bortolini a full 92 spots early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Fisher pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Pritchett pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back, quarterback and other spots.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick 63 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They robbed the room for Blake Fisher here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Good price on Caelen Carson in No. 98, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A want over a need in the 132nd overall pick: Nehemiah Pritchett adds a cornerback while running back, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick176 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Value with a capital V on Mason McCormick in No. 176, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 39, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eric Watts in the 215th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They barely believed it either: Tyler Owens still on the board at pick 249. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
