Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Myles Cole, 91 picks early at pick No. 132.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Foster
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in Round 3, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the 132nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 176 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at slot 209 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They liked Frank Gore Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 214th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
