Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Mondon Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Smael Mondon Jr. got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 255. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 11th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Will Johnson
The board fumbled Will Johnson all the way to Round 2, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in No. 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 111 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 137. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in the 185th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in pick No. 226, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick230 Rnd7 Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Somehow Jake Briningstool was still sitting there in slot 249, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 7, Pick 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
