Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall
D-

NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The 49ers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 209 on Matthew Jones a full 51 spots early. Put together, it is a D-.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. With running back and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 18 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 31 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in the 49th pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Bullard at the 75th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 16, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with running back and quarterback open.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to No. 176, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at pick No. 209, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
They reached into another round for Xavier Thomas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
