Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Tuten fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 159 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 228.

The Mauigoa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They paid up for Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 2, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in No. 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They barely believed it either: Maxwell Hairston still on the board at pick No. 99. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They will replay Donovan Jackson at slot 112 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 138th pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 139th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They did well to land JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Somehow Kyle Williams was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 14, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Francisco Mauigoa this early at pick No. 255. A need, and now a little less of one.
