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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Luke Elzinga at pick No. 113 is 82 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Getting White III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Spending an early pick on specialist with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 11 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick 43 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A wild overpay on Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in the 100th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Luke Elzinga
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Luke Elzinga at specialist with quarterback and edge rusher open.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 138th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant slipping to Round 6, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in slot 230, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in No. 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
The board fumbled Ja'Quinden Jackson all the way to the 252nd pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
