49ers Draft 2022

The 49ers needed some pass-rush versatility behind Nick Bosa and this is a good first pick from this class that aligns with the value. Jackson is a good fit in their scheme with his agility.

Grade: A

Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers have an addiction to backs of various sizes with the athleticism and quickness to perform well in their zone-blocking scheme. After finding Elijah Mitchell and also taking the big Trey Sermon in last year’s draft, this was a bit of a superfluous pick on a deep Day 3 talent.

Grade: D

The 49ers dug a little deep for another offensive skill player, enamored this time by agility and versatility to make some plays after the catch. Gray is still a developmental project as he works to get stronger and show more reliable hands.

Grade: C
