The process grade, and why

Good process on the trades, stated in advance and explained after, and two contested selections.

The need: the club held six picks and no single obvious need after free agency; receiver and tackle were named.
The trades: fewer than 20 players carried first-round grades, so 27 became 30, then 33, and six picks became eight.
The pick: Stribling at 33 over Denzel Boston and Black at 90 were named reaches, Height and Halton value.

The process grade, and why

The right direction, taken at the wrong prices, with the offensive line left for the seventh round.

The need: Banks, Ward, Greenlaw and Hufanga were gone from a 6-11 team that allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns.
The pick: five defenders came first, the first time since 1981, and that direction was praised.
The value: Williams and Collins drew questions on pass-rush production; Martin at 75 and Stout at 100 were called reaches.

The process grade, and why

A defensible first-rounder at the wrong need, and a good Day 2.

The pick: Ricky Pearsall at 31 was consensus inside the building and the weekend's most questioned pick outside it.
The value: Green after a move down and Puni after a move up were the praised picks of the weekend.
The miss: tackle was called the greater need, no tackle came, and two picks moved up for a running back.

The process grade, and why

One good trade, one third-round pick spent where the market said to wait.

The trades: moving from 102 to 87 for Ji'Ayir Brown bought a player several graders had in the second round.
The pick: Moody at 99 met the stated need, but the third round was called rich for any kicker.
The miss: Latu at 101 was called a reach, and no offensive lineman was drafted with Mike McGlinchey gone.

From 6 reports dated on or before May 1, 2023. Sam Kezar, written Sep 22, 2026. The piece.

The process grade, and why

Two sound need picks, and a reach at 93 on a roster with holes.

The need: with no first-round pick, the holes were a rusher opposite Bosa, protection for Trey Lance and receiver speed.
The value: Jackson at 61 met the biggest need at a price called phenomenal value; Gray at 105 brought speed.
The miss: Davis-Price, a running back on a roster that drafted two the year before, was named the worst pick.

Each season rounds to a whole number; the points are their sum.

The process grade, and why

A coherent plan at the top and two value questions in the middle.

The pick: Lance over Mac Jones was a bet on ceiling; the doubts were 17 FCS starts and accuracy.
The value: Banks at 48 was rated the top guard but a doubtful outside-zone athlete.
The cost: two fourth-round picks went to move up for a running back while receiver and secondary stayed open.

The process grade, and why

A trade down that still landed the best interior lineman left on the board, and a trade up the weekend called steep.

The need: Buckner traded in March and Sanders gone in free agency left an interior lineman and a receiver to find.
The value: Kinlaw came one slot later with a fourth-round pick added, and Jeremiah had him eighth on his board.
The cost: 31, 117 and 176 bought Aiyuk at 25, fair on the value chart and steep to a club with no second, third or fourth.

The process grade, and why

The consensus best player at 2 and a weekend that added picks, with a punter taken where a safety was the need.

The need: Dee Ford was already bought for the edge, and the open needs were receiver, defensive back and offensive line.
The value: Bosa was first on two public boards at 2, and Samuel at 36 sat near his board rank of 40.
The miss: a punter at 110, 294th on Kiper's board, while the secondary waited until 198.

The process grade, and why

The ninth-most capital in the league, spent on a tackle who became a need the next morning, a receiver bought at a small loss and a fourth-rounder coming off a torn ACL.

The need: tackle was not one on the Thursday; Brown went to New England the next morning, and McGlinchey became the right tackle and Staley's heir.
The cost: 59 and 74 for 44 and 142 bought Pettis at a small loss on the value chart, and the weekend split on whether he was a reach.
The risk: Street tore an ACL in a March workout and had surgery in April; the club said it rated him a third-rounder without the injury.

Each season rounds to a whole number; the points are their sum.

The process grade, and why

Two top-ten prospects in the first round, one of them bought with a pick from the trade down, and a quarterback the boards called early.

The trade: moving from 2 to 3 still landed Thomas, fifth on two NFL.com boards, and added 67, 111 and a 2018 third.
The value: 34 and Chicago's 111 bought Foster at 31, a top-ten prospect with a repaired shoulder and a dilute combine test on his file.
The miss: 109 and 219 moved up for Beathard at 104, outside Mayock's top 100, and the offensive line got none of the ten picks.
