Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

Priorities are a choice, and the 49ers made a strange one, taking Max Melton at cornerback in the 131st overall pick with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 31 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in No. 94, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 131 on Max Melton with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick 177 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts in slot 209 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick213 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 213th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good price on Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
They did well to land Julian Pearl in No. 252, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
