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

Nobody had Luke Lachey this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 88 spots to get him at Round 4, Pick 15.

Monangai falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell slid further than he should have, and pick 45 is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 75th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
A big swing on Sai'vion Jones at pick No. 100, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A reach on Jeffrey Bassa in Round 4, Pick 11; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in the 117th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
They talked themselves into Kyle Williams at No. 138, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 147 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Robinson a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They liked Ajani Cornelius enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam is a better player than the 227th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They barely believed it either: Kyle Monangai still on the board at pick 232. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Value said wait; Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the 249th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Warren Brinson in slot 252, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
