Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Thornton Jr.: B.

Call it larceny. Dont'e Thornton Jr. sat on the board until the 255th pick, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. in No. 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow is a better player than the 62nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 75th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach pick No. 99 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in slot 112, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
The board had O'Donnell Fortune higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in Round 4, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in pick 179 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at the 189th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 CJ West
They let CJ West come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
