Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the 49ers to a D-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 139 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

However the rest shakes out, Giddens at that price is a win they earned. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 31 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A clean, defensible pick in pick 43 with a little surplus value in Tyler Booker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at slot 56 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick No. 63 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Nice patience on Dylan Sampson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 75. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A quiet steal in the 95th pick: Chris Paul Jr. for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A wild overpay on Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in the 132nd overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at Round 4, Pick 36. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 147 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at the 154th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Dont'e Thornton Jr. worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach Round 7, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in slot 230 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
