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

The 49ers torched the value chart for Solomon Byrd, taking him 24 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The 49ers indulged a want in Solomon while a need in running back, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the Round 1 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick No. 94. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick 98: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while running back, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They did well to land Tyler Davis in the 125th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in Round 6, Pick 1 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They took Garret Greenfield at par in No. 215, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Solomon Byrd well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
