Complete Pick-by-Pick Analysis

Pick #23 - San Francisco 49ers: Jadan Baugh, Running Back, Florida

Rank: #26 overall | Grade: B+ Why This Pick:

San Francisco addresses its second-biggest need here, taking Baugh three spots ahead of his overall ranking of 26. It's a mild reach, but a defensible one given how thin the running back position was on this board and how badly the 49ers needed a workhorse presence behind an offensive line that still needs interior help. Passing on IOL at 23 is the real trade-off, but landing a three-down back of this caliber before the position dried up is a reasonable bet.

The Fit:

Baugh's 6'1", 230-pound frame and elite contact balance, 65 forced missed tackles and over 760 yards after contact in 2025, make him a natural fit for a downhill scheme that needs someone to create yardage on his own behind an unsettled line. His receiving work, 33 catches and willing pass protection, lets him stay on the field on passing downs, and his near-flawless ball security (one career fumble) is exactly what a offense built around control and possession wants. The tradeoff is his lack of a breakaway gear and his tendency to dance instead of hitting the hole decisively, limitations that would be masked if the interior line improves.imestamp

Strengths: Elite contact balance, runs through arm tackles and drags piles for hidden yardage

Weaknesses: Lacks true breakaway long speed, a ramp-up back who accelerates gradually rather than explosively

NFL Comp: Najee Harris (big-back frame with patient downhill style)

Pick #43 - San Francisco 49ers: Jacarrius Peak, Offensive Tackle, South Carolina

Rank: #44 overall | Grade: B Why This Pick:

Addresses key depth concern. While Offensive Tackle wasn't the top priority, Jacarrius Peak's talent at #44 overall was too good to pass up. Sometimes value trumps need.

The Fit:

Jacarrius Peak brings immediate impact to San Francisco 49ers. Jacarrius Peak is a rare experienced offensive tackle prospect for the 2027 class who transferred from NC State to South Carolina to anchor an offensive line that has struggled to protect quarterback LaNorris Sellers. A former four-star recruit from... His best trait—allowed only seven sacks across more than 1,200 career pass-blocking snaps—fits perfectly with what this team needs. Projects as a Tyrese Robinson (athletic mover with multi-position trench experience)-type player at the NFL level.

Strengths: Allowed only seven sacks across more than 1,200 career pass-blocking snaps

Weaknesses: Inconsistent footwork that can give ground against pass rushers

NFL Comp: Tyrese Robinson (athletic mover with multi-position trench experience)
