Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The 49ers robbed the room for Carson. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Caelen Carson had no business being available in slot 132, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Harrell proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 94 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 125, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 176th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in pick 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They went early on Frank Gore Jr. in slot 214, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the 249th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
