Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Washington: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Washington slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 249. Highway robbery.

If Thomas pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in slot 47; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 125th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
Nick Gargiulo in the 176th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Good price on Nathan Thomas in pick 214, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eric Watts in the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 249th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
