Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 55 name on the board, stolen at pick 112. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They are betting Gregory proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 11 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A quiet steal in pick No. 75: Zy Alexander for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dillon Gabriel in the 99th overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
A big swing on Chase Lundt at No. 138, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 139th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick 189 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 228 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Gregory. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
