Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Joshua Gray, 54 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Tuten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Ivey well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 75th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Fair-plus on Jaylin Noel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 112th pick with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd4 Nick Nash
By-the-book stuff, Nick Nash at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
Value said wait; JJ Pegues in slot 148 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the 189th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
A big swing on Francisco Mauigoa at Round 7, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A real head-scratcher, Jaylin Smith in pick No. 232 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick255 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III in pick 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
