Draft Grade — 49ers

ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Restrepo: D.

The phones were a trap the 49ers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The 49ers indulged a want in Jackson while a need in interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The cost of the Carter reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

That Restrepo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 15 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 31, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 94th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They let Donovan Edwards come to them and pounced at pick 113. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
They took Sheridan Jones at par in pick 209, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at No. 213 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at slot 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick252 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in the 252nd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
