Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jalin Conyers at Round 7, Pick 36 will need to, sitting 130 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 11th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in pick 43, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They jumped the gun on Jordan Burch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 100th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than Round 4, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick138 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 138 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 147th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Value said wait; Vernon Broughton in pick 160 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
No edge and no loss on Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Taking Ja'Quinden Jackson in pick No. 249 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
A real head-scratcher, Jalin Conyers in slot 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
