Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Matthew Jones at pick No. 209 is 24 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Henderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Blake Corum
They went early on Blake Corum in the 63rd pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in No. 98 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones is a better player than the 131st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick 209. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 213 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes at pick No. 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick252 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
No edge and no loss on Derek Wingo in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
