Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Sam Hartman, 44 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Rice pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 31st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 94th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Khyree Jackson reach No. 124 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in slot 131; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in pick No. 133, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 6, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They reached a country mile for Sam Hartman at slot 215, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They paid sticker price for Ryan Watts in the 251st overall pick, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
