Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Davin Vann at pick 227, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Skattebo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in slot 75. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They paid a round early for Denzel Burke in the 100th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick113 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 113, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jeffrey Bassa worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 22 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Davin Vann
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in the 227th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Taking Kobe Hudson in the 249th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in pick No. 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
