Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Myles Hinton went at No. 228, a good 115 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B.

On value alone, Borregales makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 11 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the 43rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Taking Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 112 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at Round 5, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 5, Pick 2 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in the 189th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Myles Hinton
Myles Hinton in No. 228 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Hawes at pick No. 232 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Somehow Andres Borregales was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
