Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jackson Slater at pick 113, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Ersery steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In pick 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 33rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 25. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in No. 100, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Slater. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 138th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at slot 160. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They took Isaac TeSlaa at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at No. 239 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
Fair-plus on Kitan Crawford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick252
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
A reach on Hayden Conner in pick No. 252; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
