Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Sanker from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jonas Sanker had no business being available in slot 255, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 12 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in slot 43 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aireontae Ersery in the 76th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at Round 3, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 138th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 139, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at pick 148, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A reach for Jack Kiser in slot 189; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 10 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 232nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Circle this one: Jonas Sanker at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
