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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Arroyo, slot 147, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Brinson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in Round 2, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
No drama and no debate, Kyle Kennard went about where he belonged in slot 75. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They read the board right and Shemar Turner was the payoff at pick No. 100. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 113, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 160th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than pick No. 227, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in Round 7, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
Warren Brinson at the 252nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
