Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the 49ers steal Edwards and grade out a C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Donovan Edwards, the 255th pick, roughly 59 picks past where he belonged. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Briningstool reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on James Pearce Jr. at slot 11, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malaki Starks in No. 43. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Value with a capital V on Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Nice patience on Kyle McCord, who had no business lasting to the 138th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at pick 139 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They reached into another round for Jake Briningstool, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at Round 7, Pick 37 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
