Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureD-
The 49ers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joe Milton III at pick 131, a reach of 69 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
The veteran additions, Drake London chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 31. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in slot 74 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in pick No. 94, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at No. 124, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
A reach on Mason McCormick in the 133rd pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 158 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith is a better player than the 176th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184
Rnd6
Myles Cole
The board had cheaper options than Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey in No. 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Bub Means
Value said wait; Bub Means in slot 215 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on LaDarius Henderson at the 251st pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
