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

The war room fell hard for Evan Anderson, and it showed at pick 232: 63 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 31st overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had Ruke Orhorhoro higher than No. 63, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to Round 3, Pick 31 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at pick No. 124 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A slide stopped in pick 131, with Javon Foster worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A big swing on Malik Mustapha at slot 133, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in pick 176 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They jumped the gun on Garret Greenfield, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in the 215th pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in Round 7, Pick 12 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
