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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for AJ Barner, 27 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They liked Christian Haynes enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 31. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
A tidy little value on Jamari Thrash in the 94th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeWayne Carter. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 132nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick176 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
