Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The 49ers won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: D.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Jha'Quan Jackson, the No. 178 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 31 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 37th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to Round 2, Pick 16 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Junior Colson at No. 63. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A slide stopped in the 124th pick, with Mekhi Wingo worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick No. 131, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd6 Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to slot 176, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at Round 6, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at pick No. 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
