Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 36 lands the 49ers a B, Thomas and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Azareye'h Thomas had no business being available in the 252nd overall pick, and the 49ers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 11 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
They will replay Shemar Stewart at pick No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in slot 75 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to No. 100, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 113th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 5, Pick 9 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach the 187th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 10 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Darien Porter
Circle this one: Darien Porter at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick249 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook in the 249th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Azareye'h Thomas in No. 252, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
