FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Stewart from sliding. Grade: D. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Josaiah Stewart, the 255th overall pick, roughly 202 picks past where he belonged.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, Drake London chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 11th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at slot 43 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the 75th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 99 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
Somehow Aireontae Ersery was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 4, Pick 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 189 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195
Rnd6
Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach Round 6, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228
Rnd7
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 228 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Sai'vion Jones
Taking Sai'vion Jones in the 232nd pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at slot 255 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
