Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The 49ers bet big and early on Oluwafemi Oladejo, 105 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thornton Jr.. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Dalton Risner pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 24th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and the 38th overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 75 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 77 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in slot 95, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Value with a capital V on Denzel Burke in pick 97, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at No. 113 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 133rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A wild overpay on Cobee Bryant in pick No. 147, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick187 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They barely believed it either: Dont'e Thornton Jr. still on the board at the 217th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 226th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
