Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalin Conyers at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 130 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 11 they get juice off the edge, reach and all.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at No. 75 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
They took Lathan Ransom at par in the 100th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 113 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 4, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the 227th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A reach for Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 33; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers in No. 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
