Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the 49ers a B+, Sanders and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how T.J. Sanders got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at No. 249. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 15 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick66 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to pick 66, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at the 77th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 100 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach pick No. 113 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in Round 6, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the 220th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in slot 249 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Somehow Josaiah Stewart was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 40, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
