Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Cephus: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Joshua Cephus, pick No. 252, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 D.J. James
D.J. James at the 63rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at slot 94 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in pick 98, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Nice patience on Malik Washington, who had no business lasting to pick No. 131. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A clean, defensible pick in the 209th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jawhar Jordan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun in No. 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Erick All
The board had Erick All higher than the 215th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick No. 252 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
