Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The 49ers bet big and early on Kingsley Eguakun, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Melton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 31st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A tidy little value on Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 31, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in No. 94 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at pick 124, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
They reached a country mile for Sione Vaki at pick No. 133, and the board is aghast. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick 176 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They went early on Nathan Thomas in the 211th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in Round 6, Pick 40 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
A big swing on Kingsley Eguakun at the 251st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
