Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 228th overall pick: the 49ers steal Marks and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Woody Marks sat on the board until the 228th pick, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The 49ers indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in quarterback stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. at pick 11 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Princely Umanmielen at slot 44 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at the 85th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the 112th overall pick on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at No. 139 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Steal is underselling it; Nick Nash at Round 5, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A premium they did not need to pay, Jay Higgins a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at slot 189 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in No. 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Hamilton at Round 7, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They did well to land Tonka Hemingway in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
