Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The 49ers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Nohl Williams at No. 193 will need to, sitting 67 spots clear of his grade. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The Harvey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, with Will Campbell leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Taking Mykel Williams in No. 43 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 50th pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach pick No. 51 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 57th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Somehow Luke Kandra was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick226 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
They will replay RJ Harvey at the 226th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
