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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Xavier Thomas at the 214th overall pick is 64 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Jordan value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 35th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They liked Christian Haynes enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in No. 94; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in pick No. 98 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick176 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 176 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Neyor in Round 6, Pick 34, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jase McClellan a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They took Myles Jones at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 249th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
