Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Mitchell Evans, 62 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
They banked enough surplus on Majors to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Caelen Carson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Fair-plus on Mason Graham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
They went early on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 11, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
A big swing on Ajani Cornelius at pick 75, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 76th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jaeden Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at pick No. 99. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylin Noel at pick 137, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick No. 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in the 185th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick226
Rnd7
Justin Walley
A wild overpay on Justin Walley in slot 226, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 249th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A tidy little value on Luke Lachey in Round 7, Pick 39, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
