Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the 49ers a A-.

Nobody had Sai'vion Jones this high, and it is not close. The 49ers reached 62 spots to get him at pick 75.

On value alone, Stout makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Benjamin Morrison and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Morrison a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 44th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 65th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at No. 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 99 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 112 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Nothing to complain about; Cody Simon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 138 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Fair-plus on Aeneas Peebles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ajani Cornelius well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Raheim Sanders for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 189th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Upton Stout
They will replay Upton Stout at the 228th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
You do not let a wide receiver like Chimere Dike reach pick No. 232 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
