Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B.

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 249th pick on Shaun Dolac a full 89 spots early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Landing Bond that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in pick 14, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a three-down second-level presence, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Good price on Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They jumped the gun on Deone Walker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A conviction pick on Gunnar Helm at No. 80 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chase Lundt. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in slot 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 147th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in Round 5, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached a country mile for Cam Jackson at pick 204, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 218 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They talked themselves into Thomas Fidone II at Round 7, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at pick No. 249. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
By-the-book stuff, Ty Hamilton at No. 252 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
