Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 99 lands the 49ers a B-, Campbell and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jihaad Campbell had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Every board in the league had Hemingway lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
A big swing on Landon Jackson at Round 1, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in No. 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at pick No. 75. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in the 99th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
They read the board right and Azareye'h Thomas was the payoff at pick 111. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at slot 185. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slid further than he should have, and the 226th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at slot 230 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
They robbed the room for Terrance Ferguson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
