Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Marcus Harris at Round 6, Pick 39 is 31 spots clear of where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Washington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 31st overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A tidy little value on Chris Braswell in the 63rd pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in slot 94 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 3, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A quiet steal in pick No. 132: Malik Washington for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick 176. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in No. 209 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
They reached a country mile for Marcus Harris at Round 6, Pick 39, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Christian Jones worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 249th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
