Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The 49ers won the night they stopped Kiner from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in the 232nd pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The 49ers sat still while Corey Kiner, the No. 187 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Mays lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 11 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at the 43rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in the 75th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mitchell Evans in pick No. 148. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Karene Reid
No drama and no debate, Karene Reid went about where he belonged in pick No. 189. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They liked Ty Hamilton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 228. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
The board fumbled Corey Kiner all the way to slot 232, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A real head-scratcher, Cooper Mays in the 255th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
