Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The 49ers went off the board in a big way for Connor Colby, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Thomas steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A quiet steal in the 43rd overall pick: Malaki Starks for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas slid further than he should have, and the 75th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Savion Williams in pick 99. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at Round 4, Pick 11 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in slot 138 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They read the board right and Shemar Turner was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They paid a round early for Jake Briningstool in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 CJ West
They talked themselves into CJ West at slot 189, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No drama and no debate, Teddye Buchanan went about where he belonged in No. 228. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 John Williams
They paid up for John Williams at pick No. 232 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They reached into another round for Gino Garcia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
