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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 58 spots for Shilo Sanders, and value like that does not grow back.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Grant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 27th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at slot 43 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 113, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at pick 129. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 136 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 138th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JJ Pegues well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
The board had cheaper options than Jaydon Blue at No. 160, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 227th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No edge and no loss on Cody Lindenberg in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
