Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Grand theft in the 138th overall pick: the 49ers steal Ayomanor and grade out a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Elic Ayomanor, the No. 57 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 138.

Brinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Christian Darrisaw deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
A tidy little value on Walter Nolen in the 24th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Kennard this early at pick No. 44. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They went early on Denzel Burke in slot 100, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in Round 4, Pick 11, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 138 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the 147th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A wild overpay on Elijah Roberts in No. 160, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Value with a capital V on Ty Robinson in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
No drama and no debate, Cam Horsley went about where he belonged in pick 227. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in the 239th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at Round 7, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacory Croskey-Merritt well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
