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

Thirty-one other rooms let Smael Mondon Jr. slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at slot 147. Highway robbery.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Every board in the league had Parr lower, and that gap is the story.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 11 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
By-the-book stuff, JT Tuimoloau at the 44th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They took Jared Ivey at par in the 75th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid sticker price for Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 36, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Somehow Tory Horton was still sitting there in pick 138, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in No. 187. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 John Williams
A reach for John Williams in pick No. 226; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 230th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Smith. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 252nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
