Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Gabriel: B+.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dillon Gabriel fell into the Round 6 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Kroeger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 24 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid sticker price for Darien Porter in pick No. 75, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 100th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 113th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They robbed the room for Tory Horton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Circle this one: Emery Jones Jr. at slot 147 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Karene Reid
A reach on Karene Reid in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A clean, defensible pick in pick 187 with a little surplus value in Oronde Gadsden II. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in No. 189 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the 214th pick 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.
Pick226 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at pick No. 226 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at the 230th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in pick 252, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
