Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The 49ers robbed the room for Carson. Final grade: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the 49ers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

On value alone, Carson makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They are betting Spann-Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The 49ers indulged a want in Carson while a need in interior defensive lineman and edge rusher stayed open.

In the end it comes back to Ennis Rakestraw Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They took Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at par in slot 41, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 67th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A curious use of pick No. 94. Interior defensive lineman and edge rusher needed the pick; a cornerback in Caelen Carson did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
The board fumbled Moose Muhammad III all the way to No. 181, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Nice patience on Miyan Williams, who had no business lasting to the 198th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A quiet steal in the 209th pick: Joshua Gray for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at slot 213 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They went early on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zion Nelson at Round 7, Pick 3. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Fentrell Cypress II in pick 240. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 241st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry slid further than he should have, and No. 252 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
