Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Kingsley Eguakun at No. 251, roughly 48 spots before his name belonged.

However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 31 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in slot 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick 124. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in the 131st pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 133rd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 176th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at Round 6, Pick 40 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Eguakun. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
