theopac DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B-

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers. The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on DeMonte Capehart a full 109 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Simpson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In pick 31 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 94th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick No. 98. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in slot 132, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at No. 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick209
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 209th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick No. 214. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215
Rnd6
DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at the 249th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
