Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The 49ers let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ja'Quinden Jackson had no business being available in pick 248, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If Weaver pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 15th overall pick they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They liked JT Tuimoloau enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at pick 46, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A wild overpay on Jack Bech in No. 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in slot 112 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They reached into another round for Simeon Barrow Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 186th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 248th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 254th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
