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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jared Wilson tumbling to the 49ers in pick No. 138 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 11 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick No. 43 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 75th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at Round 3, Pick 35 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Somehow Kalel Mullings was still sitting there in pick 139, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
