Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesC- FutureB
The 49ers found their guy under center in Travis: C.

The 49ers did not so much draft Jordan Travis as overpay for him, 101 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Jordan Travis gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Ali pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Travis
In the 31st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dillon Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Dillon Johnson in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 3, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 131 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in slot 139, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nothing to complain about; Jaylan Ford went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 182 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 209 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 213 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
A quiet steal in the 215th pick: Jalen Berger for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They read the board right and Eric Gentry was the payoff at slot 252. The roster fit checks out.
