Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the 49ers. For now, C+.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Christian Jones, 59 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 31 they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 63. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at the 98th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 131 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Taking Jaylin Simpson in the 177th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
They reached a country mile for Jordan Whittington at pick 209, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
No edge and no loss on Daequan Hardy in slot 213; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 215th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
They paid sticker price for Derek Wingo in Round 7, Pick 32, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
