Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Bortolini: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Tanor Bortolini slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Foster reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick No. 31 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Tampa at No. 63 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They did well to land Theo Johnson in the 124th pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in the 131st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in slot 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
They paid a round early for Brandon Coleman in Round 6, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board had Curtis Jacobs higher than slot 215, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach at the 251st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
