Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Nelson: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Jack Nelson, the No. 170 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 255th overall pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Stewart lower, and that gap is the story.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 11th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They paid up for Josaiah Stewart at pick No. 43 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in Round 3, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slipping to No. 112 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander is a better player than the 138th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at slot 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in Round 6, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 228 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
They robbed the room for Jack Nelson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
