Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the 49ers walked right past.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Gore Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick No. 124, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones is a better player than the 131st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at slot 133 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 176th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They went early on Frank Gore Jr. in pick 211, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 215 with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
They paid sticker price for Tyrice Knight in the 251st pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
