Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The 49ers let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Kamal Hadden sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Max Melton
A wild overpay on Max Melton in pick 40, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at slot 94, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Value with a capital V on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 100th overall pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They reached a country mile for Beaux Limmer at Round 4, Pick 3, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at slot 176 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 211th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Sundell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
