Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

You build a draft on nights like this. Javon Baker had no business being available in pick 209, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Frost left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
The board had cheaper options than Christian Haynes at the 63rd overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in pick 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cody Schrader in pick No. 176. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Steal is underselling it; Javon Baker at the 209th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Erick All
They liked Erick All enough to skip the value, taking him in the 214th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 40; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aaron Frost in No. 249, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
