Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Skattebo: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 10. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 11, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A clean, defensible pick in pick 75 with a little surplus value in Andrew Mukuba. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the 99th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 111 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 185th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
A wild overpay on Gentry Williams in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek slipping to Round 7, Pick 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
A real head-scratcher, Julian Fleming in pick 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
