Glowav DRAFTING FOR THE49ers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The 49ers let Emmanwori fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Nick Emmanwori slide 93 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in pick 43 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 100th overall pick 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.
Pick113
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 113 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Billy Bowman Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick147
Rnd5
Chimere Dike
Steal is underselling it; Chimere Dike at the 147th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jason Marshall Jr.
Taking Jason Marshall Jr. in the 227th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in slot 249 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick252
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 252 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
