Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 32 spots for Kalen DeLoach, and value like that does not grow back.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Spending an early pick on safety with offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cade Stover
You do not let a tight end like Cade Stover reach the 94th overall pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in pick 124, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tykee Smith at safety with offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A reach on Jordan Travis in the 158th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at the 176th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at the 198th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kalen DeLoach
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kalen DeLoach this early at Round 6, Pick 40. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They reached a country mile for Jawhar Jordan at pick 251, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
