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

Some picks age like wine; Donovan Jennings at the 215th pick will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Gentry at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to slot 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 98th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in the 131st overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 2 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in slot 209 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
A wild overpay on Donovan Jennings in No. 215, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick 252 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
