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

The 49ers did not so much draft Teddye Buchanan as overpay for him, 74 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Tyleik Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 102 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the 113th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jaylen Reed
Value said wait; Jaylen Reed in the 138th pick says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 147th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They took Nick Nash at par in No. 149, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They paid a round early for Ajani Cornelius in slot 160, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
No drama and no debate, Donovan Edwards went about where he belonged in the 196th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
They reached into another round for Joshua Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at pick 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
