Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Jaylen Harrell, 74 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Foster
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in slot 124 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in the 131st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 133rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 159 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 215th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They went early on Joshua Cephus in No. 251, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
