Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the 49ers.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent the Round 3 slot on Oluwafemi Oladejo, a name the board had a full 40 spots lower.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Myles Bryant pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in pick 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 90 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Skattebo a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They reached into another round for Mello Dotson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 147th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They took Seth McLaughlin at par in pick No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 227 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 241st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at pick 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
