Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B.

The Caleb Murphy selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 42 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 37, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They did well to land Chris Braswell in slot 63, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 69th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
They paid a round early for Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 35, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 177 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at pick No. 213, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in the 215th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 Caleb Murphy
Caleb Murphy at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
