Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers let Carter fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the 49ers were there to profit. Barrett Carter, the No. 81 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 36. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to pick No. 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 75 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the 100th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
