Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The 49ers jumped the board for Jeffcoat and paid for it: F.

The 49ers torched the value chart for Trajan Jeffcoat, taking him 39 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Taylor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 10 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 17th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in pick 48 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in the 59th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, T.J. Tampa adds a cornerback and leaves running back, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A big swing on Brenden Rice at pick 94, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in pick No. 124, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slid further than he should have, and the 176th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable at No. 215 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached a country mile for Trajan Jeffcoat at Round 7, Pick 16, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Julian Pearl in No. 251, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
