Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The 49ers turned the phones into found money: A-.

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 122 regardless, 116 picks early.

Landing Strong that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The 49ers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 51 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Good price on Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at the 114th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oluwafemi Oladejo this early at the 122nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 138 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They did well to land Jonah Monheim in the 166th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
You do not let a running back like Damien Martinez reach pick 187 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at Round 7, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A top-tier safety at a bargain, R.J. Mickens in slot 252, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
