Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The 49ers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, sitting there at slot 251 like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Laube pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick No. 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at Round 3, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Renardo Green
A safety of that caliber at the 124th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than pick 131, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They jumped the gun on Dylan Laube, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 211th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick215 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in No. 215 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Taking Anthony Gould in pick 251 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
