Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the 49ers: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The 49ers spent the Round 4 slot on Addison West, a name the board had a full 82 spots lower.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Helm. They will answer for taking specialist early while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher went begging. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A reach on Denzel Burke in the 75th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Addison West
A wild overpay on Addison West in pick No. 112, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 James Burnip
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 37: James Burnip adds a specialist while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick139 Rnd4 Ryan Fitzgerald
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Ryan Fitzgerald while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and edge rusher sat open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
You do not let a tight end like Gunnar Helm reach the 148th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in Round 6, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board had Jamon Dumas-Johnson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 232nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A straight-up fair deal on Kevin Jennings at slot 255, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
