Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B.

The 49ers bet big and early on R.J. Oben, 133 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Ferguson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Kennard. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 75 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in the 100th pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Circle this one: Savion Williams at the 113th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 4, Pick 36, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
They robbed the room for Joshua Farmer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in Round 6, Pick 11, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in slot 226 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 230th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Taking Jonas Sanker in pick No. 249 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick252 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
They reached a country mile for R.J. Oben at pick 252, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
