Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 209 lands the 49ers a B-, Green and all.

The 49ers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Renardo Green fell into No. 209.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Christian Mahogany
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in Round 2, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A wild overpay on Darius Robinson in pick 94, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
They talked themselves into Theo Johnson at pick No. 98, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Max Melton
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 132nd pick on Max Melton with wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick176 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They did well to land LaDarius Henderson in the 176th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at slot 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Austin Stogner. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 215th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at No. 249, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
