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

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jaylen Harrell at the 131st overall pick regardless, 63 picks early.

The Morgan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The 49ers indulged a want in Jackson while a need in running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Taking Jordan Morgan in No. 63 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in pick 94, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Khyree Jackson in pick No. 98 leaves running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in the 131st overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 2, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A tidy little value on Kenny Logan Jr. in the 209th pick, a step better than break-even. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Harris at slot 213, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They liked Joshua Cephus enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 215. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick 252 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
