Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the 49ers: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the 49ers would have aced it. Joshua Gray at the Round 4 slot is 77 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Arroyo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 43 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Gray. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 138th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 11. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 CJ West
Nice patience on CJ West, who had no business lasting to the 230th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They did well to land Donovan Smith in No. 249, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
