Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Ewers: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at the 160th overall pick. Highway robbery.

Every board in the league had Slater lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 11 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 43 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at the 75th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Slater well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slid further than he should have, and the 113th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Taking Tai Felton in Round 4, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They liked Ben Sauls enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
You do not let a quarterback like Quinn Ewers reach slot 160 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at pick 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 33, with CJ Dippre worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kai Kroeger in the 252nd pick, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
