Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Rivaldo Fairweather, 162 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Thornton Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 76th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 99, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Parrish at the 112th overall pick, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Taking Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 139th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 148, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 189 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in No. 228 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the 232nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rivaldo Fairweather
Rivaldo Fairweather at Round 7, Pick 37 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
