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

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Tahj Brooks, the No. 118 name on the board, sitting there at the 249th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Reaching for Burch left real value on the table behind him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A reach on Marcus Mbow in pick No. 45; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Burch in the Round 3 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 3, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at the 137th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at No. 189 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 231st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in Round 7, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They barely believed it either: Miles Frazier still on the board at the 254th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
