Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Washington from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in the 63rd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while A'Mauri Washington, the No. 24 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Leigh pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In pick No. 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 63 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Somehow Mark Fletcher Jr. was still sitting there in slot 95, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Desmeal Leigh
Desmeal Leigh at Round 5, Pick 31 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Nice patience on Drew Bobo, who had no business lasting to pick 193. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Coleton Price
Coleton Price at the 245th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
