Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Brooks from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tahj Brooks got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at slot 189. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Reaching for White III left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 11 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 43rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan Fairchild. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to pick 99 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at pick No. 112 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They barely believed it either: Joshua Farmer still on the board at Round 4, Pick 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They will replay Billy Bowman Jr. at the 148th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in No. 189, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 228 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the 255th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
