Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC- 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 Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 31 regardless, 37 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on All to cover a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 31st pick they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at Round 3, Pick 31 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 124th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than No. 131, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in slot 211; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Erick All
They read the board right and Erick All was the payoff at pick No. 215. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A premium they did not need to pay, Joshua Cephus a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
