Overall

FutureB-
The 49ers bet the future on Ward. The board says D-. The 49ers bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 42 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.
Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Cam Ward
They did well to land Cam Ward in the 11th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In slot 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick75
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A clean, defensible pick in pick 75 with a little surplus value in Omarr Norman-Lott. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at Round 3, Pick 17 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Paul Jr. at the 83rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 85 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the 109th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Nothing to complain about; Terrance Ferguson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at No. 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in pick No. 139, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
A quiet steal in slot 148: Pat Bryant for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Taking O'Donnell Fortune in the 161st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick189
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to Round 6, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at the 228th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in No. 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
