Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Fitzgerald from sliding. Grade: C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 255th pick.

They are betting Edwards proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Will Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in pick No. 43, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A big swing on Savion Williams at the 75th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 83 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 99th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in slot 112, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at slot 139 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the 189th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They reached into another round for Donovan Edwards, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Taking Kobe Hudson in pick No. 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 7, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
