Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Andrew Raym, 108 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick 63 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A real head-scratcher, Blake Fisher in pick No. 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at slot 124 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Andrew Raym
They reached a country mile for Andrew Raym at the 131st overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick176 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the 176th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in slot 182 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 36, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bub Means
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bub Means this early at No. 215. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 251st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
