Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 249th overall pick lands the 49ers a B, Allen and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched LeQuint Allen slide 110 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the 43rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 111 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at pick No. 137. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 185 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Taking Ryan Fitzgerald in the 226th pick is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 230. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 LeQuint Allen
They robbed the room for LeQuint Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 255th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
