Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the 49ers.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Andrew Raym in the 176th overall pick, a good 63 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart. The Hart pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and tight end.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 63rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 94 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at slot 119. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 124th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 131 on Cam Hart with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at the 176th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at No. 206 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 211 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Value said wait; Joshua Cephus in Round 6, Pick 40 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nice patience on Edefuan Ulofoshio, who had no business lasting to the 251st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
