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

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Will Sheppard at Round 7, Pick 11 regardless, 105 picks early.

The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 11th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 11: Derrick Harmon for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
A big swing on Kyle Williams at the 113th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 138 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nohl Williams in the 147th overall pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 22 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
They talked themselves into Will Sheppard at No. 227, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
A real head-scratcher, Moliki Matavao in the 249th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No drama and no debate, Tonka Hemingway went about where he belonged in slot 252. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
