Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tim Smith; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 85 spots ahead at the 252nd pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 11 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Skattebo at the 100th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 113 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A tidy little value on Mello Dotson in slot 138, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in slot 147, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in the 149th pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in Round 6, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the 204th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick249 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in No. 249 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tim Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tim Smith. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
