Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 228th pick lands the 49ers a B, Ward and all.

The board owed the 49ers one, and it paid up: Cam Ward, the No. 6 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 11 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at No. 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 75th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at slot 99 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 112th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at Round 4, Pick 37 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A quiet steal in pick 139: Shemar Turner for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trey Amos
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at the 228th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Savion Williams
Taking Savion Williams in slot 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in the 255th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
