Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Jaylen Harrell, 58 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at slot 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A conviction pick on Maason Smith at pick 94 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 150th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in the 176th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cornelius Johnson in the 190th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 211th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A big swing on Joshua Cephus at slot 215, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
