Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The 49ers spent slot 131 on Jarrian Jones while wide receiver, running back and other spots sat unaddressed. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Ulofoshio reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
The board had Braden Fiske higher than No. 63, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They let Khyree Jackson come to them and pounced at the 94th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at slot 124 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A want over a need in pick No. 131: Jarrian Jones adds a cornerback while wide receiver, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kalen King
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Kalen King in the Round 4 slot leaves wide receiver, running back and other spots for later.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
A wild overpay on Tatum Bethune in the 211th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 215 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
They went early on Marcellas Dial in pick 232, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 31 with a little surplus value in Kalen DeLoach. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
