Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The 49ers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jarrian Jones, taking him 23 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Vidal at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 63, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A slide stopped in pick 94, with Jonah Elliss worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brenden Rice in No. 98. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 132nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 176th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A clean, defensible pick in No. 209 with a little surplus value in Drake Nugent. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in slot 214, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at the 215th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Nice patience on Kimani Vidal, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 29. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
