Draft Grade — 49ers

ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Henderson: B.

Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until the 189th overall pick, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the McCoy reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 43rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 99 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to pick 138, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in Round 6, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 228th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 232nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A big swing on Bru McCoy at Round 7, Pick 39, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
