Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Barron: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jahdae Barron, pick No. 99, roughly 88 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Kuithe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. O'Cyrus Torrence gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Wyatt Milum at No. 43 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 62nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A quiet steal in pick 75: Ashton Gillotte for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at Round 3, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slipping to pick No. 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at the 137th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 172 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at Round 6, Pick 10 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
