Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 189 lands the 49ers a B-, Tuten and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Bhayshul Tuten tumbling to the 49ers in slot 189 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Ivey left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They liked Walter Nolen enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 11. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A real head-scratcher, Jared Ivey in slot 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Royals at No. 75. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at pick 99 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 138th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 4, Pick 38 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 148th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 189th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick 228, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
They took Rayuan Lane III at par in slot 255, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
