Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 249th pick: the 49ers steal Jackson and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ja'Quinden Jackson, slot 249, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Burke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at Round 1, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They liked Josaiah Stewart enough to skip the value, taking him in the 43rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They took Jared Ivey at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
The board had cheaper options than Denzel Burke at pick 100, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They let Tai Felton come to them and pounced at the 113th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They did well to land Brashard Smith in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick No. 147 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Nothing to complain about; Luke Kandra went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie slid further than he should have, and slot 227 is lovely value for the cornerback. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in the 249th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty Hamilton. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
