Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Washington: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Tahj Washington, the No. 192 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 214. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Johnson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at the 63rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A straight-up fair deal on DeWayne Carter at slot 98, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 25, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
A slide stopped in the 176th pick, with Sione Vaki worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at pick No. 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 214 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
No drama and no debate, Garret Greenfield went about where he belonged in pick No. 215. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony slipping to No. 249 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
