Complete Pick-by-Pick Analysis
Pick #28 - San Francisco 49ers: Matayo Uiagalelei, Edge Rusher, Oregon
Rank: #26 overall | Grade: B+ | Need Match: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why This Pick:Los Angeles doubles down on offense by taking Kevin Concepcion to pair with their new quarterback, addressing their fourth-ranked need with a dynamic receiver whose quickness and football IQ create separation consistently. Concepcion's reliable hands and body control to make catches in traffic fit a Rams offense that has historically maximized receivers with these traits. This pick completes the offensive rebuild.
The Fit:Concepcion's route-running ability and versatility to contribute from multiple receiver alignments make him an ideal fit for Sean McVay's scheme. His good speed and separation skills project to the short-to-intermediate game where timing and precision matter most, while his football IQ helps him find soft spots in zone coverage. The size limitations and contested-catch concerns are real, but his floor as a reliable secondary target is high.
Scouting Report:If Matayo Uiagalelei was off the board, San Francisco 49ers could target similar Edge Rushers in the first round range.

Pick #59 - San Francisco 49ers: AJ Harris, Cornerback, Penn State
Rank: #55 overall | Grade: B- | Need Match: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why This Pick:Los Angeles adds edge depth with Dani Dennis-Sutton, a Penn State defensive end whose ideal NFL size and length provide a high floor even as his ceiling remains limited by athletic constraints. Dennis-Sutton's advanced run defense and fundamental strength project immediately, though his lack of explosiveness off the line limits his pass-rush upside. The Rams are adding a solid contributor rather than a developmental project.
The Fit:Dennis-Sutton's powerful bull rush, effective long-arm technique, and high motor complement Los Angeles' existing defensive pieces without requiring immediate production. His ability to physically dominate tight ends and solid shedding skills add run-stopping value on early downs, while his quick hand strikes in pass protection generate coverage sacks when given time. The Dorance Armstrong comparison is apt—he's a power-based professional who wins with strength and effort rather than elite athleticism.
Scouting Report:If AJ Harris was off the board, San Francisco 49ers could target similar Cornerbacks in the second round range.

Pick #92 - San Francisco 49ers: Chase Bisontis, Offensive Guard, Texas A&M
Rank: #93 overall | Grade: C+ | Need Match: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why This Pick:Jacksonville addresses their sixth-ranked need with Eli Stowers, whose unconventional path from four-star quarterback recruit to breakout tight end represents one of the draft's best developmental stories. Stowers' six-catch, 113-yard masterclass in Vanderbilt's historic upset over number-one Alabama proved he can produce against elite competition, while his 7-foot high jump clearance manifests in his ability to weaponize his track background at the catch point. The Jaguars are adding a receiving weapon with rare athleticism.
The Fit:Stowers' electric vertical threat who decimates the seam with legit 21.43-mph GPS speed gives Jacksonville a tight end who forces defensive coordinators to account for him on every snap. His former quarterback background manifests in route intelligence—consistently finding soft spots and settling in zones with savvy beyond his positional experience—while his Evan Engram-like ability to turn routine completions into chunk plays adds YAC dimension. The 235-pound frame offers no value as an in-line blocker, but his 39-inch vertical and 360-pound power clean validate the athletic ceiling.
Scouting Report:If Chase Bisontis was off the board, San Francisco 49ers could target similar Offensive Guards in the Day 2-3 range.
