Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Ollie Gordon II, the No. 163 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 249. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a load in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 43rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 75th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 100 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick137 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in pick 137, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in pick No. 226 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Clay Webb
The board had Clay Webb higher than Round 7, Pick 14, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
The board fumbled Seth McLaughlin all the way to the 254th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
