Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the 49ers and Kiner: B+.

The 49ers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Corey Kiner, the No. 187 name on the board, in the 228th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need Higgins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 15th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They read the board right and Xavier Restrepo was the payoff at the 75th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Value with a capital V on Danny Stutsman in pick No. 99, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 138 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach pick 139 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Simeon Barrow Jr. a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner in slot 228 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They took Ty Hamilton at par in the 232nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 255 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
