Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The 49ers let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaylin Simpson got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 211th pick. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 11 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton at pick 23 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Nothing to complain about; Jermaine Burton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A safety of that caliber at the 69th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at the 94th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Austin Booker
The board fumbled Austin Booker all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
A clean, defensible pick in No. 131 with a little surplus value in James Williams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 133 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Javon Foster
Taking Javon Foster in slot 176 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Somehow Jaylin Simpson was still sitting there in pick No. 211, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick215 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Anthony Gould in the 215th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
You do not let a running back like Cody Schrader reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They will replay Tanner McLachlan at the 232nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in Round 7, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
