Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Clay Webb at the 187th pick, a reach of 58 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in No. 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 75 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 100th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 36 is lovely value for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kobe King
Nice patience on Kobe King, who had no business lasting to the 147th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 187 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Value with a capital V on Trevor Etienne in the 230th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger in Round 7, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
A wild overpay on Robbie Ouzts in pick 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
