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

The 49ers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Darius Alexander at No. 75 regardless, 57 picks early.

Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 11 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at the 43rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 138th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Williams in pick 189 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
They jumped the gun on Maxen Hook, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in the 232nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts at slot 255 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
