Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Judkins: B-.

The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 65 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 11.

The Higgins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 11th overall pick they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 43 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 75. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 100. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick 113 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A real head-scratcher, Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 4, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 147th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in pick 227 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in Round 7, Pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Truss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
