Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Melkart Abou Jaoude at pick 113. The 49ers jumped the board by 61 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Bennee steal is the beam this whole class leans on. It is not that Jones is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In the 14th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 David Stone
In slot 32 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kelley Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, quarterback and other spots to take Kelley Jones, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick64 Rnd2 Princewill Umanmielen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Princewill Umanmielen in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Braylon Staley
A reach on Braylon Staley in pick No. 96; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Melkart Abou Jaoude
They talked themselves into Melkart Abou Jaoude at the 113th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
A surprising call. With running back, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 134th pick on Tony Rojas, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jackson Bennee
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jackson Bennee in pick 169, plain and simple. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Joseph Borjon
No edge and no loss on Joseph Borjon in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
