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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Xavier Thomas at No. 215 is 31 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On value alone, Oladapo makes the weekend a net positive. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A reach on Malachi Corley in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 94th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at the 98th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at Round 6, Pick 2. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Fair-plus on Myles Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in pick 213 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at slot 215 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the 252nd pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
