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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Aaron Lewis at the 215th pick, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at No. 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the Round 3 slot leaves running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malik Washington this early at the 98th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 132 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 176 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They took Tanor Bortolini at par in Round 6, Pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the 214th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Aaron Lewis
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in No. 215 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Carlton Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carlton Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
