Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the 49ers.

The Addison West selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 55 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Tuten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached a country mile for Jared Ivey at the 43rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 99 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
The board had Jaylin Noel higher than Round 4, Pick 11, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 138th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Addison West
A real head-scratcher, Addison West in slot 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Nash at the 148th pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 6, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They took Zeek Biggers at par in pick No. 228, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Nice patience on Carson Vinson, who had no business lasting to the 232nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Francisco Mauigoa this early at pick 255. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
