Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The 49ers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Teddye Buchanan at slot 198 is 54 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 32 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Landon Jackson at the 43rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 51st pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in pick 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 11 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in pick 87, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at the 96th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They robbed the room for Mason Taylor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander is a better player than the 113th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeffrey Bassa. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reach on Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
The board had cheaper options than Pat Bryant at Round 4, Pick 36, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ West
They reached a country mile for CJ West at No. 147, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Kyle Williams reach slot 191 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in the 198th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They let Jordan Hancock come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 11. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick249 Rnd7 Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in the 249th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at No. 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
