Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the 49ers a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Devin Culp at the 251st pick, roughly 53 spots before his name belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Fair-plus on Dominick Puni, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 24. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
A big swing on Kitan Oladapo at pick 131, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A conviction pick on Cornelius Johnson at pick 176 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They paid up for Jordan Magee at No. 211 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 40 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Devin Culp
A real head-scratcher, Devin Culp in the 251st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
