Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaylen Harrell at the 133rd overall pick, a reach of 74 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That Jones pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 31st pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 63 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Steal is underselling it; Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A clean, defensible pick in the 124th overall pick with a little surplus value in Blake Fisher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at slot 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in Round 4, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the 176th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Raym this early at slot 211. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
No drama and no debate, Gabe Hall went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick 251 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
