Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the 49ers steal Monangai and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Kyle Monangai slides to pick 249, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

Every board in the league had Ingram-Dawkins lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Kris Abrams-Draine gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
By-the-book stuff, Armand Membou at slot 11 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Ivey this early at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They jumped the gun on Darius Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They took Tai Felton at par in No. 100, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
A slide stopped in pick No. 113, with Dylan Fairchild worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 4, Pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They paid sticker price for Mitchell Evans in the 147th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A big swing on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at pick 160, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A safety of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 36. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
