Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Elijah Simmons a full 98 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Nubin pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 31 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in No. 94. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 132nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Steal is underselling it; Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick209 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
You do not let a cornerback like Daijahn Anthony reach the 214th overall pick and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 215 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
A big swing on Elijah Simmons at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
