Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Tyler Batty at the 226th pick is 80 spots clear of where he belonged.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Knight Jr.. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 43rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 75 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 111 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Addison West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Addison West well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach Round 6, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at No. 226, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Nice patience on Cody Lindenberg, who had no business lasting to pick 230. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Julian Fleming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 255 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
