Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Kinchens should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kamren Kinchens, the No. 64 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 31. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Reaching for Jordan left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They will answer for taking cornerback early while wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at No. 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A straight-up fair deal on James Williams at the 124th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in Round 4, Pick 31, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 133 on Jarrian Jones with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach for Tanor Bortolini in the 176th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in No. 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
