Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Howard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Howard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at No. 138. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Rucker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 11 they get a building block for the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Fair-plus on Cameron Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Phillips. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaimon Rucker this early at Round 4, Pick 11. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 138 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A straight-up fair deal on Bhayshul Tuten at the 147th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 160, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They reached a country mile for Zeek Biggers at pick No. 227, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Taking Craig Woodson in the 249th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Steal is underselling it; Bilhal Kone at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
