Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Curtis Jacobs, 22 picks ahead of schedule.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 31st pick they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Xavier Worthy worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at pick No. 94 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They jumped the gun on Mason McCormick, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 211th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid up for Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 40 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
They read the board right and Marcellas Dial was the payoff at slot 251. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
