Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Elijah Jones, the No. 115 name on the board, sitting there at the 162nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Hanson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at the 63rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A tidy little value on Tyler Davis in the 124th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in pick 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A straight-up fair deal on Sataoa Laumea at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in Round 5, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 178th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trente Jones at No. 211 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 C.J. Hanson
Value said wait; C.J. Hanson in slot 215 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in the 251st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
