Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB+
Mondon Jr. should have been long gone. The 49ers pounced, and earned a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the 49ers in slot 152 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Lacy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 45th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A reach on Denzel Burke in the 75th pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
A wild overpay on Kyren Lacy in No. 112, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No edge and no loss on Joshua Farmer in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Good price on Dillon Gabriel in slot 138, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Circle this one: Ajani Cornelius at pick 139 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 152nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach pick 189 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
