Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Sanders should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B+.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Raheim Sanders, the No. 156 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 16 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the 43rd pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 47 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Slater at pick No. 138, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 139th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at slot 228, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Steal is underselling it; Andres Borregales at the 232nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach pick No. 255 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
