Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Clark: B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while De'Corian Clark, the No. 214 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They read the board right and Dallas Turner was the payoff at the 31st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at slot 63 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to pick 131, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in pick No. 177, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
A straight-up fair deal on Graham Mertz at the 209th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A tidy little value on Cornelius Johnson in No. 213, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at slot 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Steal is underselling it; De'Corian Clark at the 252nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
