Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Mustapha: B-.

Call it larceny. Malik Mustapha sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Harrell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid a round early for Marshawn Kneeland in the 63rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They paid up for Christian Jones at pick 124 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in slot 131 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in pick No. 176, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 211; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 KT Leveston
They reached into another round for KT Leveston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They robbed the room for Malik Mustapha here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 251 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
