Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Jones should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Jarrian Jones, the No. 148 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 176th overall pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Baker
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in pick No. 94. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 35, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 132nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at slot 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Curtis Jacobs for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson is a better player than the 215th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No edge and no loss on Tatum Bethune in No. 249; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
