Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
The 49ers robbed the room for Harris. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Tre Harris, the No. 23 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 254.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 44th overall 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.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Circle this one: Tyler Booker at Round 3, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in No. 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at the 112th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at slot 137 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.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick No. 165 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the 189th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
You do not let an edge rusher like Josaiah Stewart reach pick 209 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick No. 230, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 249th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to Round 7, Pick 38, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
