Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

The 49ers bet big and early on Jay Toia, 118 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They liked Danny Stutsman enough to skip the value, taking him in the 75th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Savion Williams at No. 85, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in the 100th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 109th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brashard Smith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Logan Brown
No drama and no debate, Logan Brown went about where he belonged in No. 138. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A reach for Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at pick No. 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in slot 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A real head-scratcher, Desmond Watson in pick 197 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ Dippre well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached into another round for Drew Kendall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jay Toia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jay Toia this early at the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
