Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The 49ers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 232 regardless, 164 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Rourke falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The 49ers paired the rookies with proven help, Amarius Mims leading the way.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 20 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A wild overpay on Isaiah Bond in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach on Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 51; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at Round 3, Pick 21 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Parrish. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at slot 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 148 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at the 172nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at pick 189, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
The board fumbled Kurtis Rourke all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at the 228th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Antario Brown
Antario Brown at pick No. 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
