Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the 49ers did not. Aki Ogunbiyi went at the Round 6 slot, a good 49 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Whittington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The 49ers indulged a want in Smith while a need in running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer in pick No. 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They talked themselves into Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in No. 127, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick205 Rnd6 Sincere Haynesworth
They liked Sincere Haynesworth enough to skip the value, taking him in the 205th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 213th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aki Ogunbiyi this early at slot 215. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 234 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A conviction pick on Trey Knox at No. 237 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Storm Duck
Storm Duck at Round 7, Pick 28 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
