Draft Grade — 49ers

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.
