Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Ransaw should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B.

The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Caleb Ransaw, the No. 206 name on the board, in No. 227. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Lundt lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 11 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 44 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cameron Williams in the 75th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They did well to land Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson is a better player than Round 4, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A clean, defensible pick in the 138th overall pick with a little surplus value in Brashard Smith. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
The board had Mello Dotson higher than pick 147, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They took Luke Kandra at par in slot 149, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid up for Chase Lundt at Round 5, Pick 22 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at the 171st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
They robbed the room for Caleb Ransaw here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A tidy bit of business in pick 239, where Cam Jackson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A quiet steal in slot 249: Ja'Corey Brooks for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson slipping to pick No. 252 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
