Part 3/7:
Ultimately, the 49ers used their early-round picks poorly, emerging from the 2021 draft with a woeful one for six record. Among their selections, only Aaron Banks found steady involvement, while the other picks failed to make a significant impact, setting the franchise back in terms of building depth and talent.

The disappointing trend continued in the 2022 draft, where the 49ers had three picks in the top 105 but failed to capitalize effectively. The choices of Drake Jackson, Ty Davis-Price, and Danny Gray yielded dismal results, with only minimal signs of potential. The team managed to draft a few contributors in the later rounds, but the overall lack of impact from the early selections further emphasized their drafting woes.
