Draft Grade — 49ers

Grand theft in the 210th overall pick: the 49ers steal Jacobs and grade out a B-.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Curtis Jacobs fell into the Round 6 slot.

They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots went begging. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Driskell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick98 Rnd3 Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at the 98th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A curious use of the 132nd overall pick. Interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a S-EDGE in Jalyx Hunt did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at pick 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in slot 213 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 33 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
