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

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 228 on Francisco Mauigoa a full 53 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Ransom to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 11 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 43 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Noel in the 99th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 139th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill is a better player than No. 148 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A slide stopped in pick 189, with JJ Pegues worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
A big swing on Francisco Mauigoa at pick No. 228, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 232nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts at Round 7, Pick 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
