Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 40 on Jowon Briggs a full 54 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Newton pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 31st overall pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 63 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They robbed the room for Ruke Orhorhoro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They bypassed pressing needs at running back, quarterback and other spots to take Josh Newton, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick131 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They liked Trevor Keegan enough to skip the value, taking him in the 131st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 169 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They read the board right and Marist Liufau was the payoff at pick 176. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in slot 211 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the 215th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board fumbled Curtis Jacobs all the way to pick No. 219, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 245th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reach on Joshua Cephus in No. 251; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
