Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The 49ers let Jones Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Emery Jones Jr. slide 62 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in pick 53 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They jumped the gun on Carson Schwesinger, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 36 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 138 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Quinn Ewers in No. 147, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at pick 187 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 226th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They barely believed it either: KeAndre Lambert-Smith still on the board at pick No. 230. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
The board fumbled R.J. Mickens all the way to slot 249, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick252 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the 252nd pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
