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

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Nazir Stackhouse, 56 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Bassa to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 14 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
They paid up for Bradyn Swinson at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Belton this early at pick 75. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They let Gunnar Helm come to them and pounced at the 100th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Value with a capital V on Chimere Dike in the 113th pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
No drama and no debate, Denzel Burke went about where he belonged in slot 117. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
The board had Jeffrey Bassa higher than Round 4, Pick 36, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijah Roberts well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Cam Jackson at pick 227 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 John Williams
The board had cheaper options than John Williams at the 249th pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They took Teddye Buchanan at par in slot 252, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
