Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a A-. The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sai'vion Jones at pick 75 regardless, 65 picks early.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr.. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jihaad Campbell
In pick 24 they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in No. 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at slot 75, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 33 with a little surplus value in Charles Grant. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 100th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Value said wait; Kyle Williams in pick 139 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the 147th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160
Rnd5
Robert Longerbeam
They reached into another round for Robert Longerbeam, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
You do not let a running back like Kyle Monangai reach No. 249 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at the 252nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
