Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Jermayne Lole, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Landing Pearl that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 6 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
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They paid a round early for Christian Haynes in slot 64, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 95. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 98th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A straight-up fair deal on Curtis Jacobs at No. 177, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
They talked themselves into Xavier Thomas at the 210th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jase McClellan. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in No. 215 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jermayne Lole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jermayne Lole this early at Round 7, Pick 33. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
