Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall F
ValueC- NeedC TradesF FutureA-
A weekend the 49ers spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

The Jayden Virgin-Morgan pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 79 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It is not that Finley is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. The McDonald value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left wide receiver open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Dom Nichols
Dom Nichols in No. 63 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Finley
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went tight end with Eli Finley while clear needs at wide receiver, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers at pick No. 84 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jelani McDonald adds a safety and leaves wide receiver, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
They talked themselves into Jayden Virgin-Morgan at slot 135, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Adon Shuler
A safety of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Drew Azzopardi
The board fumbled Drew Azzopardi all the way to the 193rd pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 TJ Dottery
TJ Dottery at No. 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
