Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somebody in slot 252 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Kyle Monangai, the No. 213 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Conner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 11th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick No. 44 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They let Jack Bech come to them and pounced at pick No. 75. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A quiet steal in No. 100: Charles Grant for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 11 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Brown a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Value with a capital V on Brashard Smith in slot 147, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A reach on Tyler Baron in the 149th pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick 160 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 249th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They will replay Kyle Monangai at slot 252 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
