Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
The 49ers let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Dixon, the No. 191 name on the board, stolen at the 232nd pick.

They will need All to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at Round 2, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
The board had cheaper options than Andru Phillips at pick 94, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Good price on Isaac Guerendo in slot 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 133rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Erick All
Erick All in the 168th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in No. 211 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick 219 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 230th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the 232nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at No. 251 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
