Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The 49ers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. McCaffrey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

That Bell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 31st pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 63 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in slot 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
The board had cheaper options than Luke McCaffrey at pick 133, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaheim Bell in Round 6, Pick 1. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Caedan Wallace at the 211th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 215. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They paid sticker price for Jalen Coker in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
