Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Whittington fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Jordan Whittington sat on the board until pick 252, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Jefferson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at No. 63 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in the 98th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
They let Malachi Moore come to them and pounced at slot 177. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Francisco Mauigoa
A premium they did not need to pay, Francisco Mauigoa a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in the 215th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
