Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Tanor Bortolini went at the 132nd pick, a good 85 picks before the board was ready. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Haynes pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 23 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A premium they did not need to pay, Myles Cole a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board had Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint higher than pick No. 215, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They did well to land Tyler Owens in the 232nd pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at pick 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
