Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureA
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Luke Lachey, 76 picks early at pick 136. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Hamilton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 27th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They went early on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 11, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in the 75th pick, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at pick No. 91, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Value said wait; Miles Frazier in No. 100 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick 129 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
They talked themselves into Luke Lachey at No. 136, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in pick 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ty Hamilton in the 147th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nothing to complain about; Nick Nash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 166 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the 227th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in slot 236 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacory Croskey-Merritt. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong in pick 247 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at pick No. 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
