Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Watts: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Eric Watts got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at slot 215. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Powers-Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
You do not let a wide receiver like Brenden Rice reach slot 94 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 98th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight is a better player than pick No. 132 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 176th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in pick 209, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They let Jordan Magee come to them and pounced at No. 214. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Taking Eric Watts in Round 6, Pick 40 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A tidy little value on Mark Perry in the 249th pick, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
