Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Johnny Dixon slides to pick 249, you do not overthink it, and the 49ers did not.

The cost of the Vidal reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 31st overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 63 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at No. 98 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Good price on Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, James Williams at Round 4, Pick 32. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in slot 176. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach for Tanor Bortolini in the 209th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kimani Vidal. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at Round 7, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
