Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

Some picks age like wine; Jaylen Harrell at pick 171 will need to, sitting 37 spots clear of his grade.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in pick 63. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A big swing on Maason Smith at the 79th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Fisher in slot 94, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and No. 124 is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick131 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in pick No. 131 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at Round 5, Pick 35, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 176 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 211 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at slot 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reach for Joshua Cephus in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
