Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

Nobody else had Tykee Smith anywhere near the 215th overall pick. The 49ers did, by 131 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The McCoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at slot 59 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid up for Payton Wilson at the 90th pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They talked themselves into Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Value said wait; Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 27 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
A real head-scratcher, Christian Mahogany in pick No. 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
A big swing on Landon Jackson at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 213 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tykee Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the 248th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
