Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took JJ Pegues at Round 4, Pick 36 regardless, 49 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Landing Rogers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 11th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Fair-plus on T.J. Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They took Chris Paul Jr. at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 100 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A reach for Jacob Parrish in pick No. 113; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 147 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Circle this one: Caleb Rogers at the 227th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Sam Brown Jr. at Round 7, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A reach on Marcus Yarns in pick No. 252; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
