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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jaylen Harrell, 53 picks early at the Round 5 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A tidy little value on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 52, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 94 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brennan Jackson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 133rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in slot 154, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 155th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Value with a capital V on Dwight McGlothern in No. 176, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 211th 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.
Pick215 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A big swing on Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick 251 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
