Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall

FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Barton. Final grade: D-. You build a draft on nights like this. Lander Barton had no business being available in pick No. 233, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
Every board in the league had Powell-Ryland lower, and that gap is the story. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
They took Mykel Williams at par in the 15th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick 46 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 77th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jordan James
Somehow Jordan James was still sitting there in slot 100, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 4, Pick 4 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to pick No. 113, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd4
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 190th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd7
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They robbed the room for Lander Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
They paid up for Luke Lachey at slot 249 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Oscar Delp
They liked Oscar Delp enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 254. It fills a real need, too.
