Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Marshawn Kneeland in No. 63, a good 40 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Phillips makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The 49ers indulged a want in Green while a need in running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 31st overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
They talked themselves into Mohamed Kamara at pick 94, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 James Williams
They reached a country mile for James Williams at the 98th pick, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Renardo Green, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 176 with a little surplus value in Kitan Oladapo. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick No. 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 214th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ryan Watts
A conviction pick on Ryan Watts at slot 215 that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They let De'Corian Clark come to them and pounced at pick 229. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in Round 7, Pick 29 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
