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

The 49ers bet big and early on Jake Majors, 59 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hill. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
They liked Parker Brailsford enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Good price on Clay Webb in the 95th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 127 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Circle this one: Tommi Hill at slot 159 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jake Majors
A wild overpay on Jake Majors in Round 6, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Malik Spencer
Malik Spencer at pick 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
