Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 230: the 49ers steal Smith and grade out a B+.

When a board-topper like Brashard Smith slides to Round 7, Pick 14, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

Every board in the league had Jones Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 11 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach Round 2, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Kennard at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to slot 89, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Tyleik Williams in pick No. 99, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 111th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 137 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Value said wait; Clay Webb in the 185th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Circle this one: Sam Brown at slot 226 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in No. 230 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
