Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC+
The 49ers let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, pick No. 178, roughly 44 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kelvin Banks Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They did well to land Jihaad Campbell in No. 43, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 71st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Good price on Zy Alexander in pick No. 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Jacob Parrish, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
Fair-plus on Aeneas Peebles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at Round 5, Pick 22. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at pick 178 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 184 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in the 238th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Steal is underselling it; R.J. Mickens at No. 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick252 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They jumped the gun on Donovan Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
