Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the 49ers. For now, C+.

The Aaron Lewis selection is the head-turner. The 49ers reached 61 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

On value alone, Simpson makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

So much rides on Jackson Powers-Johnson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in slot 94, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javon Foster. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the 132nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 176 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They took Jalen Green at par in pick 214, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 215th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
They talked themselves into Aaron Lewis at slot 249, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
