Knight Jr. should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a F. The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Demetrius Knight Jr. fell into Round 7, Pick 10. A F, plain and simple.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick25
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the 25th pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Mike Green
Mike Green is a better player than the 43rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 85 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
They robbed the room for Aireontae Ersery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in No. 99, and they pounced on premier running back value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tez Johnson at the 112th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138
Rnd4
Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach No. 138 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick 139 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Armand Membou
Circle this one: Armand Membou at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 228 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
