Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jared Wilson at the 92nd overall pick regardless, 91 picks early.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bech. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In the 18th pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
They will replay Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 101 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in the 113th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in slot 116 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 138th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nick Martin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Martin in No. 188. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
They paid a round early for Mason Taylor in the 223rd pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton slipping to Round 7, Pick 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They let KJ Jefferson come to them and pounced at slot 247. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick No. 254 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
