Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cornelius Johnson slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at slot 215. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Steal is underselling it; Kamari Lassiter at No. 63 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in pick 94: Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in the 131st pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 133 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
No edge and no loss on Cody Schrader in the 176th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They will replay Cornelius Johnson at the 215th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Barrett at the 251st overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
