Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Lambert-Smith: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the No. 193 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 255th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Powell-Ryland to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Derrick Harmon at the 43rd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Circle this one: Marcus Mbow at pick No. 75 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than the 76th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Savion Williams in Round 4, Pick 37, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A tidy bit of business in slot 139, where Terrance Ferguson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Nothing to complain about; Cobee Bryant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at pick 228 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They let Trevor Etienne come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 14. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 255th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
