Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The 49ers took Elijah Simmons a full 173 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Tuten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 43 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Burch. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Fair-plus on Jake Majors, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 111 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 4, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick226 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson slipping to the 226th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
They talked themselves into Gentry Williams at pick No. 249, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
They reached a country mile for Elijah Simmons at No. 255, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
