Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The 49ers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The war room fell hard for Sai'vion Jones, and it showed at the 76th overall pick: 66 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Grant a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Value said wait; Sai'vion Jones in the 76th pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 113th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in Round 4, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They talked themselves into Elijah Roberts at slot 147, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They reached a country mile for Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 160 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Ransaw at pick 204, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick227 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 227th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
By-the-book stuff, Thomas Fidone II at pick No. 249 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They paid sticker price for Ty Hamilton in slot 252, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
