Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the 49ers a B, Morgan and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jordan Morgan slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at Round 2, Pick 31. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots went begging. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the 94th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Josh Newton, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick131 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They read the board right and Theo Johnson was the payoff at No. 131. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in pick 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to slot 176 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
The board had Jase McClellan higher than pick No. 211, and the running back fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 251 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
