Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureA
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The 49ers put a flag in the ground for Andrew Raym, 108 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

On value alone, Dixon makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
By-the-book stuff, Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They reached a country mile for Blake Fisher at slot 94, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in No. 99 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 124th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in pick 131 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton slipping to the 133rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to the 211th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 215 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
