Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers robbed the room for Paul Jr.. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the 49ers were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 15. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Jones Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The wide receiver 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.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker is a better player than pick 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 77th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in Round 3, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A big swing on Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in No. 190, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They will replay Xavier Nwankpa at the 220th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at slot 249 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Micah Morris well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
