Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureA-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Justin Rogers, 55 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

On value alone, Berger makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in pick 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 4, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at pick No. 129, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Nice patience on Malik Washington, who had no business lasting to pick No. 132. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Layden Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Taking Roger Rosengarten in No. 209 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun in Round 6, Pick 39 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 215th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Omar Brown
Somehow Omar Brown was still sitting there in slot 226, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
You do not let a cornerback like Ryan Watts reach the 249th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
A running back of that caliber at pick 257 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
