Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the 49ers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Lovett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 31 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at slot 63 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 94th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the 130th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They did well to land Jalyx Hunt in Round 5, Pick 39, just ahead of his grade. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 211, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Erick All
A reasonable price with a little left over, Erick All in pick 215. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid a round early for Kimani Vidal in Round 7, Pick 12, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
The board had cheaper options than Dominique Hampton at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
