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

The Tykee Smith selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 22 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The 49ers indulged a want in Solomon while a need in interior defensive lineman and quarterback stayed open. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Jacobs falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at slot 63, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in pick No. 94, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 35. Interior defensive lineman and quarterback needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tykee Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 132 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slid further than he should have, and pick 176 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in the 209th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 214 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Knox
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Knox in No. 215, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Cephus. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
