Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did enough to get by: C+.

The 49ers bet big and early on Jalin Conyers, 129 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They banked enough surplus on Brooks to cover a lot of smaller sins. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 11 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 43rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wilson at slot 100 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kobe King
They jumped the gun on Kobe King, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
A slide stopped in pick 138, with Kyle Williams worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at the 147th pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
A real head-scratcher, Howard Cross III in pick No. 160 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Harris. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers at slot 252 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
