Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Cam Jackson; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 65 spots ahead at slot 166. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 43rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sai'vion Jones in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick No. 100 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in No. 113, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They reached a country mile for Kyle Williams at slot 147, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They did well to land Bhayshul Tuten in the 160th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 166 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike is a better player than pick No. 227 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A running back of that caliber at pick 236 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
The board fumbled Robert Longerbeam all the way to the 249th pick, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
