Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Alex Mastromanno at pick No. 148, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Reed pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. It is not that Fitzgerald is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 11th pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Circle this one: Shavon Revel Jr. at pick No. 43 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A quiet steal in slot 75: Dylan Sampson for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ryan Fitzgerald
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Ryan Fitzgerald while clear needs at offensive lineman and quarterback sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vernon Broughton well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at No. 138 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in slot 139 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Alex Mastromanno
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alex Mastromanno this early at pick No. 148. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 189th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
You do not let a safety like Jaylen Reed reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 232nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao in No. 255 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
