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

The 49ers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 112 on Jah Joyner a full 52 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Evans makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 7 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 Armand Membou
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 43rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in pick 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Phillips a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jah Joyner
They talked themselves into Jah Joyner at No. 112, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 4, Pick 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 139th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in No. 189 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They paid up for Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 228 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A reach on Seth McLaughlin in Round 7, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A slide stopped in pick 255, with Marcus Yarns worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
