Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the 49ers: B-.

The JJ Pegues pick is the one that will follow the 49ers into the fall. They took him 27 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Pearce Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in Round 2, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the 75th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at the 100th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A conviction pick on Jackson Slater at No. 138 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid a round early for O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in the 160th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in the 227th pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in No. 249 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
