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

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for R.J. Oben, 129 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than slot 24, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 43rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at pick 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Parrish well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 112th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the 138th pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Value with a capital V on Jamaree Caldwell in slot 139, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in pick 148, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in the 228th overall pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at pick No. 232 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
Value said wait; R.J. Oben in Round 7, Pick 37 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
