Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB+
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The 49ers torched the value chart for Erick All, taking him 54 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Gore Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in the 57th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at Round 2, Pick 31 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 97th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 124 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than pick 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Erick All
Erick All at slot 149 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in pick No. 176, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A quiet steal in the 211th pick: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Owens in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
