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

Somebody in pick 193 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 88 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 17 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in the 48th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Good price on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 100 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Nice patience on Jack Bech, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in the 137th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 193 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A tidy bit of business in slot 231, where Miles Frazier graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 247th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
