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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Emery Jones Jr. tumbling to the 49ers in pick 147 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Dotson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kelvin Banks Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 43rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in pick No. 75. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in pick 100, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at slot 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in No. 138 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 9 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They did well to land Bhayshul Tuten in the 160th pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at the 227th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at slot 249 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shemar James
They let Shemar James come to them and pounced at pick 252. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
