Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Sai'vion Jones at the Round 3 slot, a reach of 68 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

On value alone, Neal makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 20 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 53 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nothing to complain about; Darien Porter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at No. 85 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
They paid up for Quinn Ewers at pick No. 89 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They reached into another round for Joshua Farmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 112 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 139th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley slid further than he should have, and the 189th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in pick 199. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They reached a country mile for Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 10, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A wild overpay on Nick Martin in pick No. 232, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the 237th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in slot 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
