Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Grand theft in the 124th pick: the 49ers steal Phillips and grade out a D-.

The phones were a trap the 49ers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D-.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Knox reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Phillips falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 63rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at pick No. 69 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 31, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
A curious use of No. 124. Interior defensive lineman and quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Andru Phillips did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 131, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 133 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
You do not let a safety like Kitan Oladapo reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in Round 6, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They went early on Trey Knox in No. 215, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
A tidy little value on Jalen Sundell in the 251st pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
