Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Woodson: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Craig Woodson slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If Gillotte pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A wild overpay on Ashton Gillotte in No. 75, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tez Johnson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 113th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonas Sanker in Round 4, Pick 36. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in pick 147 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
The board had Mitchell Evans higher than slot 160, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 11, where Kyle Monangai graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Somehow Craig Woodson was still sitting there in slot 249, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Smith at the 252nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
