Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent No. 252 on Jalin Conyers, a name the board had a full 128 spots lower. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Felton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 11 they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in the 75th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 100 with a little surplus value in Kevin Winston Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 11, where Tai Felton graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at the 138th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 147 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A quiet steal in No. 160: Nick Nash for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Jermari Harris at slot 227, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A premium they did not need to pay, Marcus Yarns a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
A wild overpay on Jalin Conyers in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
