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

When a board-topper like T.J. Sanders slides to Round 7, Pick 14, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding David Bakhtiari by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 23rd overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at pick No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 75th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 87 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in Round 3, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 137 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at No. 185 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 226th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 230th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at slot 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Amos
You do not let a cornerback like Trey Amos reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
