Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Maurice Smith, 31 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Murphy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 8th pick they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good price on Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
A reach on Christian Haynes in No. 63; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 94 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy slipping to Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 176 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kenny Logan Jr. at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick214 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
A big swing on Maurice Smith at Round 6, Pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 215 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 249 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
