Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 10: the 49ers steal Cornelius and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ajani Cornelius at the 228th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 11th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
Somehow Benjamin Morrison was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in pick 112, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in slot 138, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the 148th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the 189th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
You do not let a cornerback like Cobee Bryant reach pick No. 232 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at No. 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
