Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Majors: B.

When a board-topper like Jake Majors slides to pick 249, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 62nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at pick No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
The board fumbled Ashton Gillotte all the way to No. 99, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the 111th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 115 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 185 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in pick No. 226 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 230 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the 249th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Billy Bowman Jr. in the 255th overall pick, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
