Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureA+
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Donovan Smith at Round 5, Pick 1, a reach of 106 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
That is a specialist worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Josh Simmons and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
They paid sticker price for Grey Zabel in pick 33, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 51st pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at the 67th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Value with a capital V on Chris Paul Jr. in pick 99, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 112th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140
Rnd5
Donovan Smith
A wild overpay on Donovan Smith in slot 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 228th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Andres Borregales
They will replay Andres Borregales at No. 232 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
