Draft Grade — 49ers

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the 49ers, and a B- to prove it. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The 49ers reached some 62 spots for Xavier Truss, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at pick No. 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in slot 75. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at the 97th pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
They reached into another round for Sai'vion Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 4, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 139 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
They barely believed it either: Anthony Belton still on the board at No. 140. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in Round 5, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 161 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 189th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Truss in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at pick 255. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
