Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B.

The 49ers bet big and early on Luke Elzinga, 82 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

On value alone, Pegues makes the weekend a net positive. The 49ers indulged a want in Elzinga while a need in quarterback and edge rusher stayed open.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They let Dylan Sampson come to them and pounced at slot 75. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They paid sticker price for Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 100, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Luke Elzinga
Of all the spots to shop, they chose specialist. Luke Elzinga in pick 113 leaves quarterback and edge rusher for later.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at No. 147 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They talked themselves into Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 187th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
Somehow JJ Pegues was still sitting there in pick 226, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Circle this one: R.J. Mickens at pick No. 230 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 36 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
