Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesD FutureA
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

The Dallas Gant selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 69 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 63rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than pick 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at No. 133 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A big swing on Jaylen Harrell at the 176th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Erick All
A wild overpay on Erick All in the 180th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They will replay Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 211 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They reached a country mile for Joshua Cephus at pick 231, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
They talked themselves into Dallas Gant at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
