Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the 49ers spent the 131st overall pick on Khristian Boyd, a name most had 37 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Phillips to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 46 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
A reach for Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 3, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
They robbed the room for Andru Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray is a better player than No. 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A conviction pick on Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Hall at No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They liked Joshua Cephus enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
