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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Zion Logue. He came off 70 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sainristil.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 31 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 63rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 31 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Cowing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kedon Slovis
A big swing on Kedon Slovis at pick No. 209, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 214th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick 215. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Johnson
Jordan Johnson at Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
