Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the 49ers shredded theirs for Taulia Tagovailoa. He came off 60 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In No. 31 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to slot 94. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kitan Oladapo
They reached into another round for Kitan Oladapo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They reached a country mile for Mason McCormick at pick 132, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Erick All
They left a pile of value on the table to take Erick All this early at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Cephus well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 214 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A big swing on Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 215, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the 249th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
