Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers land in the muddy middle: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Eli Cox at the 252nd pick is 83 spots clear of where he belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jihaad Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, a steep price for the projection.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at pick No. 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in the 75th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in slot 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
A straight-up fair deal on Aeneas Peebles at pick 147, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Caleb Rogers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caleb Rogers well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 227th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick No. 249, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eli Cox
A big swing on Eli Cox at the 252nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
