Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Parrish: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The 49ers watched Jacob Parrish slide 106 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Colby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In slot 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to pick 43. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Nothing to complain about; Charles Grant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at No. 113. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Connor Colby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Colby well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at the 147th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
No edge and no loss on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 187; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
The board fumbled Jacob Parrish all the way to pick No. 230, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nick Martin
The board had cheaper options than Nick Martin at the 249th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
