Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Gabe Hall, 90 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. With running back, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 31 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 74th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Melton
A curious use of pick No. 94. Running back, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Max Melton did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 9 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brenden Rice in the 124th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 133rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in pick 176 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
No edge and no loss on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Proctor in the 215th overall pick, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick251 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in No. 251, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
