Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Fitzgerald: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Ryan Fitzgerald slide 111 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Turner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 75, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They liked Jake Majors enough to skip the value, taking him in the 99th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to slot 138, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick189 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 6, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
They robbed the room for Ryan Fitzgerald here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at No. 232 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at the 255th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
