Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Devin Culp; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 80 spots ahead at No. 251.

The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They banked enough surplus on Mims to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Value with a capital V on Amarius Mims in the Round 1 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at Round 3, Pick 31 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 123rd overall pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 130 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They talked themselves into Malik Mustapha at the 132nd pick, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wild overpay on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 175, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They paid up for Garret Greenfield at pick 211 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 215th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Devin Culp
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Devin Culp well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
