Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Milum fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Wyatt Milum, the No. 28 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 249. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They did well to land Abdul Carter in the 11th pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 43 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Armand Membou
They let Armand Membou come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to No. 99, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A quiet steal in pick No. 111: Mason Taylor for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tim Smith well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
The board had Miles Frazier higher than No. 230, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in pick 249, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at pick No. 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
