Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the 49ers this weekend: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The 49ers took Thor Griffith at No. 252, roughly 64 spots before his name belonged.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at slot 49 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyle Kennard in the Round 2 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A clean, defensible pick in pick 75 with a little surplus value in Carson Schwesinger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in pick No. 100, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They went early on Nohl Williams in Round 4, Pick 11, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
They read the board right and Jeffrey Bassa was the payoff at the 138th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They reached a country mile for Ty Robinson at pick 147, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 160 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in the 227th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
