More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jake Majors; the 49ers did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at the 101st pick.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 14th overall pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
They went early on Quinn Ewers in pick No. 45, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Jackson a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 3, Pick 37 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
