Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the 49ers for Felton: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tai Felton got past him. The 49ers do not have to explain a thing at the 160th pick.

It is not that Burnip is a bad player; it is that the 49ers had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If Burnip pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at Round 1, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
They reached a country mile for Dylan Sampson at the 43rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 100. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 113 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 James Burnip
A surprising call. With linebacker still to address, they spent the 138th pick on James Burnip, a specialist they were not short of.
Pick147 Rnd5 Will Howard
Will Howard at No. 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A tidy little value on Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick 227, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They liked Jackson Hawes enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
