Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Francisco Mauigoa at the 228th overall pick is 53 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Royals that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A real head-scratcher, Maxwell Hairston in pick 43 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Royals in the 75th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 35 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 138 with a little surplus value in Darius Alexander. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They reached into another round for Francisco Mauigoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
No drama and no debate, Marcus Yarns went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 14. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They let Jackson Hawes come to them and pounced at slot 255. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
