Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Majors fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Majors, the No. 107 name on the board, stolen at slot 138. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Hook pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 11 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
A reach on Zy Alexander in the 43rd pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They took Savion Williams at par in No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 138th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at slot 139 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They paid up for Luke Lachey at Round 6, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
They talked themselves into Maxen Hook at slot 228, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
The board had Marcus Yarns higher than pick No. 255, and the running back fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
