ther1 DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Fitzgerald. Final grade: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Ryan Fitzgerald tumbling to the 49ers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The Prieskorn pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 11 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in No. 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the 111th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at pick 185 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 226 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
They will replay Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 230 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tim Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tim Smith well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
They talked themselves into Caden Prieskorn at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
