Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Graham Mertz, 121 picks early at No. 230.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They banked enough surplus on Fannin Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 25th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 43 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Sampson at No. 58, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach Round 3, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 100 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than pick No. 113, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They will replay Joshua Farmer at the 138th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick No. 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in pick 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in the 230th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in slot 241 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan slipping to Round 7, Pick 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
A wild overpay on Tyler Loop in No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
