Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 62 spots for Thor Griffith, and value like that does not grow back. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Paul Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 12 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Landon Jackson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than the 75th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to slot 100, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They did well to land Jordan Phillips in No. 113, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at No. 160 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie slid further than he should have, and the 227th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
