Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the 49ers started one anyway for Jaylen Wright, 234 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Harris to cover a lot of smaller sins. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Javon Foster
In pick No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Reuben Fatheree II
Value said wait; Reuben Fatheree II in the 90th overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick 98 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick127 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in slot 127, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the 177th pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryson Nesbit a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at No. 213 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in the Round 6 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 248 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
