Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped King from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kobe King got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 185th overall pick.

The Fleming pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in the 43rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick99 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 99 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They let Elijah Arroyo come to them and pounced at the 111th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at Round 4, Pick 36. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King at slot 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A quiet steal in pick No. 226: Seth McLaughlin for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at slot 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in pick No. 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Lindenberg reach pick 255 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
