Overall

FutureB
The 49ers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. Some picks age like wine; Jaylen Harrell at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 75 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
On value alone, Carson makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Ruke Orhorhoro
In the 31st pick they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick108
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They paid up for Blake Fisher at pick 108 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Circle this one: Caelen Carson at slot 124 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in the 129th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalyx Hunt. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at Round 4, Pick 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They went early on Khristian Boyd in pick No. 167, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Ryan Flournoy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ryan Flournoy in the 176th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at slot 211, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Bub Means
A big swing on Bub Means at No. 215, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in Round 7, Pick 31 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
