Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 75 spots for Trevor Keegan, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Baker makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in No. 63, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 98th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at the 132nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 209 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to pick 214, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaac Guerendo
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at the 215th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
